Now You Has Jazz

Gentlefolk of Newport Or should I say "hats and cats," Please lend an ear That you all may hear Some shimmering sharps and flats. For those cosy virtuosi, known as "hipsters" to the trade, wish to show you now Precisely how Jazz music is made. Take some skins, Jazz begins, Take a bass Steady pace, Take a box, One that rocks, Take a blue horn New Orleans-born. Take a stick With a lick, Take a bone, Dixie-grown, Take a spot, Cool and hot, Now you has jazz jazz jazz, jazz, jazz. Now you has, Now you has, Now you has, Now you has, Now you has, Now you has, Now you has jazz, jazz, jazz, jazz, jazz, jazz, Now you Has, Now you Has, Now you Has, Now you has jazz, jazz, jazz, jazz, jazz. Jazz Jazz Jazz Jazz Jazz Jazz Now you has jazz, Now you has jazz, Now you has jazz If you sail Over the sea, Take my tip They're all molto hip In Italy. As for France, Believe it or not, Frenchmen all prefer what they call "Le Jazz Hot." Take a plane Go to Siam, In Bangkok Today, 'round the clock, They have a jam. Indians on the Amazon Beat one bar and all of 'em are gone, man, gone. From the Equator Up to the Pole, Through the air you hear everywhere Rock and roll. From the East Out to the West, Jazz is king, 'Cause jazz is the thing Folks Dig Best.
