Lyrics
Did you ever hear the story of the Dixieland band
Let me tell you, brother, that the music was grand
They had piano and the clarinet
Only thing they needed was a second cornet
And that's what led to the ruin
Ruin of the Dixieland band
When the folks would holler for the Maybelline rag
They would get to swinging, but the trumpet would drag
They had to keep him 'cause he played so sweet
But they needed someone who could give them a beat
Someone who swung with the rhythm
Rhythm of the Dixieland band
He'd play so sweetly
'Stead of playing
He'd play so sweetly
They'd be saying
Sure enough, he got them so they couldn't play right
Finally he dicked them on a Saturday night
He hit a note that was out of chord
Appoplexy got them and they went to the Lord
And that is the pitiful story
Story of the Dixieland band
Now they're up in heaven and they're happy at last
'Cause they found a trumpet man who really can blast
The way he swings them is an awful shame
He can really do it, Gabriel is his name
And now, folks, here is a sample
Listen to the Dixieland band
If you hear a trumpet start to play
Don't you be afraid it's the Judgment Day
'Cause it's just Mr. Gabriel sounding his A
And the Dixieland band is a-fixin' to play
