From the recording With The Stars In Your Eyes
A bit of 1940s Jive and Swing for you all - but updated for the 2000s. A song about a hidden nightclub on the other side of Death's door. I hope there's one, as I'd be pretty happy living out eternity in a bar.
I would love to hear how the Brian Setzer Orchestra would interpret this song.

I wanted to know
About the end of the soul
Oh, when you take the ride
To the other side
Do you keep on grooving?
When your spirit flies
to the gig in the sky
...well, what happens then?
I took a long look
at all the holy books
But I couldn’t find no solution
Where do we go? (Where do we go?)
Nobody knows (Nobody knows)
I hope I end up at the Groove House
I searched away
'Til the end of my days
Then I was waiting in line
and caught the Devil’s eye
and he wised me up to the rumours
“Above or below - there’s a place to go, where the alley cats blow”
(Don’t need no reservation)
Behind a big fat door, they’ll be banging on the floor and shouting out for more...
...until the sunrise”
Where do we go? (Where do we go?)
Nobody knows (Nobody knows)
I hope I end up at the Groove House
It’s hidden away
Down a darkened lane
Where the bluesman sings the voodoo
Now there ain’t no sign
Just the number fifty-nine
And a bouncer out front in a zoot suit
Head right inside, no need to feel shy, we’ll be jamming all night
(Don’t need no reservation)
Just do your thing, you can jive and swing, or do anything
...you can leave your sins behind
Where do we go? (Where do we go?)
Nobody knows (Nobody knows)
I hope you end up at the Groove House
Where do we go? (Where do we go?)
Well, now you know (Well now you know)
And I’ll be waiting for you at the Groove House
