There's a land where music grand
echoes o'er the desert sand,
Hear those cymbals crash,
see those black eyes flash;
While that ever swelling sound,
as they on their tom toms pound;
Oh! that jazzin' band,
simply grand.

Oh! Oh, that pyramid jazz,
See what a movement it has
Down in the pyramid's shade,
young natives dancing there
maidens graceful and fair;
when I hear that music so appealing
right to my heart it goes a stealing,
Oh boy!
That fascinatin' 'toxicatin' jazz,
that jazz.
I feel ev'ry nerve in me thrill
when they are playing that pyramid jazz.

Oh! Oh, that pyramid jazz,
See what a movement it has
Down in the pyramid's shade,
young natives dancing there
maidens graceful and fair;
when I hear that music so appealing
right to my heart it goes a stealing,
Oh boy!
That fascinatin' 'toxicatin' jazz,
that jazz.
I feel ev'ry nerve in me thrill
when they are playing that pyramid jazz.

When I hear that music start
it gives rapture to my heart
hear them gaily sing
Oh! what joy they bring;
There is where I want to be,
It means Paradise to me
near that jazzin' band
Egypt land.

Oh! Oh, that pyramid jazz,
See what a movement it has
Down in the pyramid's shade,
young natives dancing there
maidens graceful and fair;
when I hear that music so appealing
right to my heart it goes a stealing,
Oh boy!
That fascinatin' 'toxicatin' jazz,
that jazz.
I feel ev'ry nerve in me thrill
when they are playing that pyramid jazz.

Oh! Oh, that pyramid jazz,
See what a movement it has
Down in the pyramid's shade,
young natives dancing there
maidens graceful and fair;
when I hear that music so appealing
right to my heart it goes a stealing,
Oh boy!
That fascinatin' 'toxicatin' jazz,
that jazz.
I feel ev'ry nerve in me thrill
when they are playing that pyramid jazz.
