Jonah Jones

Jonah Jones (born Robert Elliott Jones; December 31, 1909 – April 29, 2000) was a jazz trumpeter who created concise versions of jazz and swing and jazz standards that appealed to a mass audience. In the jazz community, it can be argued that he might be best appreciated for his work with Stuff Smith. He was sometimes referred to as "King Louis II," a reference to Louis Armstrong. Jones started playing alto saxophone at the age of 12 in the Booker T. Washington Community Center band in Louisville, Kentucky before quickly transitioning to trumpet, where he excelled. more »

Yes, it's a good day for singin' a song
And it's a good day for movin' along
Yes, it's a good day, how could anything go wrong
For it's a good day from mornin' till night

Yes, it's a good day for shinin' your shoes
And it's a good day for losin' the blues
Everything to gain and nothin' to lose
For it's a good day from mornin' till night

I said to the sun, good mornin', sun
Rise and shine, today
You know you've gotta get goin'
If you're gonna make a showin'
Man you got the right of way

'Cause it's a good day for payin' your bills
And it's a good day for curin' your ills
So take a deep breath and throw away your pills
'Cause it's a good day from mornin' till night

I said to the sun, good mornin', sun
Rise and shine, today
You know you've gotta get goin'
If you're gonna make a showin'
Man you got the right of way

'Yes it's a good day for payin' your bills
And it's a good day for curin' your ills
So take a deep breath and throw away your pills
'Cause it's a good day from mornin' till night
It's a good day from mornin' till night
