歌手:Louis Armstrong
专辑:《Armstrong Comes Alive》

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 sharps and flats
For these cozy virtuosi
Just about the greatest
In the trade are fixing
To show you now precisely how

Or approximately

Jazz music is made

Well you take some skins

Jazz begins
Then you take a bass

Man now we're
Getting someplace
Take a box

One that rocks

Take a blue horn
New Orleans born

You take a stick

With a lick

Take a bone

Ho ho hold the phone

Take a spot

Cool and hot

Now you has jazz jazz
Jazz jazz jazz

That's positively theraputic

Now you has jazz jazz jazz

Masters Hall and Young

That's Ed Hall
And Tommy Young
Now you has Masters

Kyle and Shaw
That's Billy Kyle
Arvil Shaw
Now you has Mr. Barrett Deems

Listen to well you know who

Hey Pops you wanna grab
A little of what's left here

Yeah Daddy yeah

Here we go
If you sail
Sailing sailing
Over the sea
Will you wait for me
Take my tip they're all
Molto hip in Italy
Well Arrevederci

As for France
Oh I know you're
Very big there
Yes believe it or not
I do believe I do indeed
Frenchmen all prefer what
They call le jazz hot

Take a plane
Bobba doo zot
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 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 folks dig

That's jazz
