Count Basie & His Orchestra

The Count Basie Orchestra is a 16 to 18 piece big band, one of the most prominent jazz performing groups of the swing era, founded by Count Basie in 1935 and recording regularly from 1936. Despite a brief disbandment at the beginning of the 1950s, the band survived long past the Big Band era itself and the death of Basie in 1984. It continues under the direction of trumpeter Scotty Barnhart. Originally including such musicians as Buck Clayton and Lester Young in the line-up, the band in the 1950s and 1960s made use of the work of the arranger Neal Hefti and featured musicians such as Thad Jones and Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis. Its recordings of this era included collaborations with singers such as Frank Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald. more »

Clap hands, here comes Charlie
Clap hands, good time Charlie
Clap hands, here comes Charlie now

This way, join the party
I say, meet McCarty
Hey, hey, Charlie take a bow

Ginger ale and white rock for his table
Grab a chair, move over there
And let him sit right next to Mabel

Clap hands, here comes Charlie
Clap hands, good time Charlie
Clap hands, here comes Charlie now

Clap hands, here comes Charlie
Clap hands, good time Charlie
Clap hands, here comes Charlie now

This way, meet The Dollies
I say, Zeigfield Follies
Hey Charlie, take a bow

See the smile on all those hungry faces
They can tell that he's a buyer
From those wide and open spaces

Clap hands, here comes Charlie
Clap hands, good time Charlie
Clap hands, here comes Charlie now

Clap hands, here comes Charlie now
Clap hands, here comes Charlie now

See the smile on all those hungry faces
They can tell that he's a buyer
From those wide and open spaces
Clap hands, here comes Charlie now

Clap hands, here comes Charlie
Clap hands, here comes Charlie
Clap hands, here comes Charlie
Clap hands, here comes Charlie, oh boy, yeah

Ginger ale and white rock for his table
Grab a chair, move over there
And let him wait
Clap hands, here comes Charlie now

Clap hands, here comes Charlie
Clap hands, good time Charlie
Clap hands, here comes Charlie now

This way, join the party
I say, meet McCarty
Hey, hey, Charlie take a bow

See the smile on all those hungry faces
They can tell that he's a buyer
From those wide and open spaces

Clap hands, here comes Charlie
Clap hands, here comes Charlie now

He's a big man with the ladies
And sail her with his doubt
When he starts to wail and holler, 'Go man go'

Oh boy, there was Charlie
What joy, swingin' Charlie
Clap hands, there goes Charlie now
