In Alabama land,
They have a Jazbo Band
that plays the "Weary Blues"
Till you dance 'way your shoes,
Just see that Leader man,
With baton in his hand,
and listen to that trombone groan,
Listen to the cello moan.

Oh that Alabama Jazbo Band.
You all know
their wonderful harmony's grand.
Just notice Jasper Grinn
sawing on the violin;
Say! Did you see Bill Bailey
Strumming on that ukelele?
Hear Jim Johnson playing that old cornet
And Josephus blow his clarinet
Did you hear that drum?
Ain't we going some?
Oh! That Alabama Jazbo Band.

Oh that Alabama Jazbo Band.
You all know
their wonderful harmony's grand.
Just notice Jasper Grinn
sawing on the violin;
Say! Did you see Bill Bailey
Strumming on that ukelele?
Hear Jim Johnson playing that old cornet
And Josephus blow his clarinet
Did you hear that drum?
Ain't we going some?
Oh! That Alabama Jazbo Band.

This Alabama Band,
all medals in the land
they've won and that's no bluff,
Know how to do their stuff,
Just see them on parade,
Put others in the shade,
Now hold your horses here they come;
See the children on the run.

Oh that Alabama Jazbo Band.
You all know
their wonderful harmony's grand.
Just notice Jasper Grinn
sawing on the violin;
Say! Did you see Bill Bailey
Strumming on that ukelele?
Hear Jim Johnson playing that old cornet
And Josephus blow his clarinet
Did you hear that drum?
Ain't we going some?
Oh! That Alabama Jazbo Band.

Oh that Alabama Jazbo Band.
You all know
their wonderful harmony's grand.
Just notice Jasper Grinn
sawing on the violin;
Say! Did you see Bill Bailey
Strumming on that ukelele?
Hear Jim Johnson playing that old cornet
And Josephus blow his clarinet
Did you hear that drum?
Ain't we going some?
Oh! That Alabama Jazbo Band.
