I've Got To Be A Rug Cutter - Duke Ellington & His Orchestra

I’ve got to be a rug cutter

Swing out in the groove

I’ve got to be a rug cutter

So my jive will improve

I was so un-trucky

Now I’m super-ducky

Gonna cut back a figure

So, Gate, I’ll dig ya

I’ve got to be a rug cutter

Swing out in the groove

I’ve got to be a rug cutter

So my jive will improve

I’ve got to be

I’ve got to be

Rug cuttin' me

Rug cuttin' me

Swing out in the groove
