Here gentlefolk of Newport
Or maybe I say hats and cats
I want you to lend an ear because em'
Well I want you to hear
Some shimmering sharps and flats
For these cozy virtuosi
Just about the greatest in the trade
Are fixing toshow you now
Precisely how or approximately
Jazz music is made

Well you take some skins
Jazz begins,
And you take a bass
Man niw we're getting some place
Take a box
One that rocks
Take a blue horn New Orleans born
Ah you take a stick
With a lick,
Take a bone
Hold the phone
Take a spot
Cool and hot
Now you has jazz, jazz, jazz, jazz, jazz

Le two tone song
Ahh that's positively
Thereaputic

Now you has jazz, jazz, jazz
Mssr Hall and Young

That's Ed Hall
And Tommy Young

Now you have Mssr's Kyle and Shaw
That's Billy Kyle
Arville Shaw

Now you have Mister Barrett Deems

Now listen to, well you know who

Hey Pops you wanna grab alittle of what's left here
Yeah Daddy yeah
Here we go

If you sail, a-sailing sailng
Over the sea, oh will you wait for me
Take my tip they're all molto hip
In Italy, well Arrivederci

As for France, I know you're very big there
Yes, believe it or not
I do believe I do indeed
The Frenchmen all
Prefer what they call
Le Jazz Hot

Follow me
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 'em are
Gone, man, gone.

From the Equator
Up to the Pole
Everybody winging
Everybody singing
That rock, rock, rock, rock, rock and roll

From the East to the West
From the coast to the coast
Jazz is king
'Cause jazz is the thing
The folks
Dig
Most.

Bam bam bam bam bam
Ba bam bam da ba bam.

Now that's Jazz.
