Double Time Chuck Hughes ASCAP 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
