Lyrics You Hit the Spot - Sarah Vaughan and Her Trio

You are a straight-line as college chair
Mm-mm, mm-mm
As sympathetic as a baby's tear
Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm
You are a smooth as a kitten's ear
Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm

I never will trade you for the money and the meat
It feels like love
It looks like love
Oh, can't you take a hit?

You hit the spot, like a balmy breeze on a night in May
You hit the spot, like a cool mint julep 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 julep 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, you hit the spot
