The Andrews Sisters

The Andrews Sisters were a highly successful close harmony singing group of the swing and boogie-woogie eras. The group consisted of three sisters: contralto LaVerne Sophia Andrews (July 6, 1911 – May 8, 1967), soprano Maxene Angelyn Andrews (January 3, 1916 – October 21, 1995), and mezzo-soprano Patricia Marie "Patty" Andrews (born February 16, 1918). Throughout their long career, the sisters sold well over 75 million records (the last official count released by MCA Records in the mid-1970s). Their 1941 hit "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy" can be considered an early example of rhythm and blues or jump blues. more »

Oh you can take the high road
Or you can take the low road
Go the way the wind is blowin'
Take the main road, the side road
The cross road, the rail road
As long as you keep goin'
 
Now if you ever get mad
With a very young lad
You better do what I tell you
Don't you rave, don't you shout
Don't you even start to pout
Here is a very simple sample
 
Now I took a stroll with a boy in the park
We found a bench in a spot that was dark
And he tried stealin' a kiss, but what did I say?
Oh, what did I say? Hit the road!
 
Down on the square where the hobos all meet
Someone was makin' a speech in the street
But just then somebody hollered, "Hey! The Light's green"
Oh, what did he mean? Hit the road!
 
When you're annoyed with anyone
Don't get mad, don't rave, don't shout,
Just count to ten and then politely say 
"Get lost, bail out"
 
I just set out to you folks for a spell
Not just to prove that I can take it as well
I'll let you give it to me, I'll leave it to you
Oh what'll I do? Hit the road!
 
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-do, da-da-da-da-do
Da-da-da-da-da, hit the road!
 
Dibs he gets fresh in the dark (Hit the road)
And if he suggests that you park 
And if he trys to steal a kiss (Oh, what'll you say?)
Hit the road! 
 
(Hit the road) And if he should hand you a line
(And if he says) "Honey, what is yours should be mine"
If you have a date at eight and he comes at nine
(Oh, what d'you say?) Hit the road!
 
When you're annoyed with anyone
Don't get mad, don't rave, don't shout
You better count to ten and then politely say 
"Hey, get off my back"
 
We just set out to you folks for a spell
Not just to prove that we can take it as well
We'll let you give it to us, so what'll we do
Oh, what'll we do? Hit the road!
 
Alright, we'll hit the road!
