big Ben Wailin', had
an eye on June
he was checkin' out
the way she moved across the room
it seems she had a
different guy for every other dance
he hoped she was there
along and he might have a chance
Ben was wailin' extra
hot and every note he blue
cats shouted "he's
Ben Wailin'" and June was diggin' too
on the break he said
to June "I'm Ben, how do you do
let's hit this after
hours joint they call the Rumpus Room"
after the show they
jumped in June's Coup Deville
like Jack and like
Jill, they went over the hill
there wasn't a chance
of them arriving too late
cause the jumpus rumpus
room goes from midnight til eight
Ben knew the password
and they walked right in
June said "I'm thirsty
for some bootleg jinn"
after some drinks
they hit the floor for a dance
they were steppin
together like a movie romance
they were dancing fine
together, Ben knew it was fate
he said "marry me
baby, girl you know I can't wait"
June swooned "I will,
but who can marry us tonight"
but luckily a preacher
man was there and getting tight
"I do"s were said
to drunken' Reverin Thomas at the bar
toasts were made till
the wee-wee hours
they smooch and boozed
and sang and laughed
and danced to every
other tune
and so began the legendary
Rumpus Room honeymoon
<spoken>go Ben Wailin'
go Ben (that's my
husband)
It's the Rumpus Room
honeymoon
That's Ben and June
He sure can wail
I now pronounce you
husband and *hick* wife
have some cake honey
or another drink at
least
</spoken>
*kissing sound*
