You Hit the Spot - Sarah Vaughan, Roy Haynes, Joe Benjamin

You hit the spot,

Like a balmy breeze on a night in May;

You hit the spot,

Like a cool mint julip on a summery day!

You hit a new high in my estimation,

I had to fall,

'Cause you’ve got so much on the ball!

Oh, you hit the spot,

Like the first embrace when the night is tied;

You hit the spot,

Like a pipe and slippers by a fireside!

Matter of factly,

Don’t know exactly,

What it is that you’ve got,

But ooh-ooh-ooh, you-ou-ou hit the spot!

You hit the spot,

Like a balmy breeze on a night in May;

You hit the spot,

Like a cool mint julip on a summery day!

You hit a new high in my estimation,

I had to fall,

'Cause you’ve got so much on the ball!

Oh, you hit the spot,

Like the first embrace when the night is tied;

You hit the spot,

Like a pipe and slippers by a fireside!

Matter of factly,

Don’t know exactly,

What it is that you’ve got,

But ooh-ooh-ooh, you-ou-ou hit the spot!
