Ah, dear gentlefolks of Newport
Or should I say hats and cats
I want you to lend an ear
To some shimmering sharps and flats
Now, these cozy voices
They 'bout the greatest in the trade
They gonna show you now
Exactly how, approximately
Jazz music is made
A-now you take some skin, jazz begin
A-take a bass, whoa, we getting someplace
A-take a box, the one that rocks
New Orleans horn boy, Trummy Young
Yes, take a stick, one with a lick
Take a bone, oh, hold the phone
Take a spot, the one that's hot
Now you have jazz, jazz, jazz, jazz, jazz
ย
La toute chanson

Now you have jazz, jazz, jazz
Mr. Edmond Hall
Yes, Trummy Young
ย
Now you have jazz, jazz, jazz
Mr. Billy Kyle at the piano
San Francisco Flash, Squire Gersh at the bass
A-well, listen to Mr. Barry D
ย
A-listen to, well, you know who
ย
Come on up here, Pops, and get a little bit of what's left, Dad
Okay, Daddy

Papa Bing Crosby in Technicolor

If you sail, sailing, sailing across the sea
Wait, you wait for me
Take my tip, they're almost hip in Italy
Well, I read that you asked for France
Oh, you very big there?
Yes, believe it or not
I do believe you, yes, indeed
The Frenchmen all prefer what they call le jazz
A-well, you take a plane, go to Siam
In Bangkok today 'round the clock, they love to jam
The Indians on the Amazon
They're beatin' one bop, and all of them are
Well, gone, man, gone
From the equator, up to the pole
Everybody swingin', everybody singin'
Rock, rock, rock, rock, rock, rock, rock
From the east to the west, out to the coast
Jazz is king, jazz is the thing that folks
Dig
ย
Now that's jazz
ย
Thank you, folks
