Rap Tap on Wood - Bobby Short

If you want to ring the bell not once, but twice

If you want to roll and roll those lucky dice

If you want to spend your journey’s end with sweet music and love

If you want to lick this world of men and Mickey Mice

Take my advice

When you sit down, one day

Look over yourself and say

«You're very good»

Ra-ap tap on wood

When you have such success

You’re conscious that you impress

The neighbourhood

Ra-ap tap on wood

When every meal you take

Is made of milk and honey

When every stock you take

Is making mints of money

When every heart you break

Is such a cinch, it’s funny

Careful, Sonny

Rap-tap, rap-tap, rap-tap-tap, rap-a-tap-tap

You’re knockout, you’re good news

And you’ll never, never lose

If you just put on your dancing shoes

And rap-tap on wood
