Everybody Loves A Jazz Band 1917

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 10 Sep 2004

I heard a band the other day,
and let me tell you,
they can play,
in such a funny meter,
that your feet 'er goin' to make your body sway.
I heard 'em down in New Orleans,
they play a rag, called "Pork and Beans"
say, you can't get enough, of that raggy stuff,
although I don't know what it means:

Everybody loves a Jazz Band,
Everybody loves a Jazz Band,
they play a classy tune,
you will croon,
they make you think of Alabama,
and when you hear the lovin' slide moan,
on the ever lovin' trombone,
you'll get right on your feet,
and holler out "Repeat!"
'cause the Jazz Band can't be beat.

Everybody loves a Jazz Band,
Everybody loves a Jazz Band,
they play a classy tune,
you will croon,
they make you think of Alabama,
and when you hear the lovin' slide moan,
on the ever lovin' trombone,
you'll get right on your feet,
and holler out "Repeat!"
'cause the Jazz Band can't be beat.

They got a funny clarinet,
and there's a man that plays cornet,
in such a funny manner,
the piano has to show a lot of pep.
In every big town cabaret,
they find a place where they can play,
and if you'll take a chance,
you will want to dance,
right through the night,
till break of day.

Everybody loves a Jazz Band,
Everybody loves a Jazz Band,
they play a classy tune,
you will croon,
they make you think of Alabama,
and when you hear the lovin' slide moan,
on the ever lovin' trombone,
you'll get right on your feet,
and holler out "Repeat!"
'cause the Jazz Band can't be beat.

and holler out "Repeat!"

Hot Dog, Hot Dog
You gotta go.
