Wet in Rome: The 1920s Tune That Demands a Raincoat!

🎙️✨ 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐉𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐛𝐮𝐠 𝐉𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐬 - 𝐖𝐞𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐑𝐨𝐦𝐞 ✨🎙️
In the heart of Boston's North End, the Jitterbug Jills found a perfect backdrop for their tune "Wet in Rome."
It was 1923, and Prohibition had turned the search for a good drink into a nightly adventure. One of the Jills' favorite haunts was Café Pompeii-an Italian-owned restaurant by day, but by night, its basement transformed into a lively speakeasy where patrons could sip bootlegged gin and escape the watchful eyes of the law.
🎶
On one particularly rainy night, after a spirited performance at Café Pompeii, the Jills found themselves racing through the slick streets, dodging puddles on their way to another hidden speakeasy, The Blue Clover. 🎷
As they laughed at the absurdity of their drenched clothes and the ever-present thrill of sneaking from one underground bar to the next, they began to dream of performing not just in Boston's secret hideaways but in Italy itself-Rome, to be precise. 🍸
It was this blend of wet streets, the speakeasy buzz, and their longing for Italy that inspired Wet in Rome, a playful imagining of the Jills crooning in the rain-soaked piazzas of the Eternal City. Recorded in a single take, the song captured both the carefree mischief of the North End's Prohibition scene and the trio's far-off dreams of performing under Italian skies. 🇮🇹
Before performing Wet in Rome, the Jitterbug Jills would introduce it with a playful line that became part of their routine: 'When in Rome, you do as the Romans do - but when you're Wet in Rome, you might just end up dancing in the rain. 💃🏻
The song earned a special place among the regulars of Café Pompeii, where Italian and English blended as easily as the music and conversation. Its lighthearted lyrics and simple stripped down rhythm made it a quiet favorite for those late nights when the rain outside only added to the allure of the forbidden drinks inside. Long live the 1920s! 🎩

(Verse 1)
We had a little party just the other night,
All dressed up and feeling right,
But oh, what happened, I can't explain,
Just don't break the china again!
(Chorus)
Don't break the china, making a mess,
What happens next, you just might guess,
Tiptoe 'round but don't go slow,
You might slip where the cups overflow!
(Verse 2)
Johnny said, "Careful, it's fragile stuff,"
But we were wild, couldn't get enough,
Dancing 'round the room like we owned the floor,
Till the saucers and teacups hit the door!
(Chorus)
Don't break the china, causing a scene,
The way we move, if you know what I mean,
Cups are clinking, hearts are too,
Don't break more than just the china, me and you!
(Bridge)
Every time we swing so bold,
Something fragile always unfolds,
But who can stop when the moment's right?
Let's keep it steady tonight!
(Final Chorus)
Don't break the china, can't you see?
It's just the way it's meant to be,
Don't worry 'bout the porcelain fine,
We'll keep it all in line this time!

P.S. Santa Claus is not real either. If he was, he's probably demand a raincoat too.
