This page contains lyrics to the following song(s):
This was sung by Jimmy Rushing with Benny Goodman and his orchestra. Recorded during a live radio broadcast in the American pavillion of the Brussels World Fair in 1958, sponsored by Westinghouse Broadcasting. On this specially-adapted version of the "we're gonna rock the joint" theme Rushing and Benny were swinging like they'd rarely been swinging before. The performance was reissued on a CBS CD, "Benny In Brussels".
BRUSSELS BLUES (Rushing - Goodman) I'm going to Brussels, dig that Brussels fair And I'm going to Brussels, dig that Brussels fair Big shot, little shot, square's gonna be there They're gonna jump and shout, we're gonna have a real good time We gonna jump and shout and have a real good time Benny Goodman gonna swing, if he doesn't change his mind We gonna rock, we gonna rock this joint We gonna rock, we gonna roll this joint We gonna swing, we gonna swing this joint We gonna rock, we gonna rock this joint We gonna rock, we gonna swing this joint We gonna rock, we gonna rock the fair We gonna rock, we gonna jump the fair We gonna rock, we gonna roll the joint We gonna rock, we gonna sell the joint We gonna rock, we gonna fire the joint We gonna rock, we gonna rock this joint We gonna rock this joint tonight Going to Brussels, going to have a real good time Yes I'm going to Brussels, and have me a real good time Things gonna be all right, things gonna be real fine Didn't spend a dime and I ain't got nothin' to lose Didn't spend a dime and I ain't got nothin' to lose Yes, and left me with those Brussels blues We gonna rock, we gonna rock this joint... etc...
