Double Time

Once upon a time at the hepcat lounge

A band from out of town came in to play

Hipsters drove their rods from miles around

Thinkin' they could swing the night away

With pompadours and tatoos they were lookin' fine

And all the cats and kittens stood to dance

But everything they played they played in doubletime

Those cats and kittens didn't stand a chance

Faster and faster they rocked the night away

Those rockabilly cops had nothin' nice to say

But they couldn't stop the cats with the beat gone astray

When they shook up the town on that psychobilly day

In just about ten minutes then the song was done

Then they played another like the last

Only one difference i could hear

Each new song they played was twice as fast

They said 'scuse us if you thought we were a dance band

We don't really mean to rag and diss

But rockin's much more fun when you're in doubletime

And we don't care if you can't dance to this

At the end of the night they had a big fight

While the jukebox played that song yeah right

The gear was destroyed the band unemployed

They barely got away in the middle of the night

But i can still remember at the county line

They leaned out the window and they yelled

"youhaven't rocked until you've rocked in doubletime

So all you swingin' cats can go to hell
