Dear gentlefolk of Newport, or maybe I should say hats and cats, I want you to lend an ear
because, well, I want you to hear some really shimmering charms and blunts.
Oh, these cozy virtuosi, just about the greatest in the trade, are fixin' to show you now, precisely how,
oh, approximately, jazz music is made.
Well, you take some skins, jazz begins, and you take a bass.
Oh, man, now we're gettin' someplace, take a box, one that rocks, take a blue on New Orleans, boy.
Ah, you take a stick, with a lick, and take a bone, oh, hold the phone.
Take a spot, cool and hot, now you have jazz, jazz, jazz, jazz, jazz, a lit toot on the side.
Oh, that's positively therapeutic.
Now you have jazz, jazz, jazz, messers hard.
That's Ed Hall and Young, that's Ed Hall, and Trummy Young, now you has messers Kyle and Shaw,
that's Billy Kyle, Harville Shaw, that's Billy Shaw, that's Billy Shaw, that's Billy Shaw, that's Billy Shaw,
that's Ray Lewis!
Now you has Mr. Varadines!
Uh, listen to, well, you know,
huh!
well you know, who, har?
Well!
You also can pick up some music and take it home, well, that's fine!
All right, here we go.
Hey, Pops, you want to *** a little of what's left here?
Yeah, Daddy, yeah.
Here we go.
If you sail
A-sailing, sailing
Over the sea
When you wait for me
Take my tip, they're all moldy
Hip in Italy
Well, I've reduced you as for France
Oh, I know you're very big there
Yes, believe it or not
I do believe I do indeed
The Frenchman's all creeper
What they call lay jazz
For me, I'll take a plane
Go to Siam
In Bangkok today
Round the clock
Well, they all like to jam
Indians on
The Amazon
Beat one bar
And all of them are
Well, gone, man, gone
From the equator
Up to the port
Everybody
Winging
Everybody singing
That rock, rock, rock, rock, rock
And rolling
From the east to the west
From the coast to the coast
Jazz is king
Because jazz is the thing
The folks
Dig
All
And that's jazz
