That's What Makes A Wild Cat Wild 1918

Tennessee ought to be
dear to the lovers of harmony,
Memphis town, where they found
those original blues.
Memphis Blues.
Women mild, all go wild,
crazy to jazz in the latest style,
bob cats cry, roostin' high
you can hear 'em a mile gone wild.

Hear that saxophone hum, oh!
Listen to the traps and drums!
Rooster call and baby squall
is right in tune,
with the fiddle's obligato
to the deep bassoon.
Trombone flat on his back,
a moaning like a naughty child
it's the Razza Pazza za of a real jazz band,
that's what makes the wild cat wild.

Hear that saxophone hum, oh!
Listen to the traps and drums!
Rooster call and baby squall
is right in tune,
with the fiddle's obligato
to the deep bassoon.
Trombone flat on his back,
a moaning like a naughty child
it's the Razza Pazza za of a real jazz band,
that's what makes the wild cat wild.

Gee it's fine love o' mine,
listen and hear how that music whines,
makes me sigh, want to die
fo' my loveable child.
Honey Child.
Boys and girls, girls and boys,
all goin' daffy 'bout jazzy noise,
Gee! it's blue but it's true,
that it's runnin' folks wild
Plum wild.

Hear that saxophone hum, oh!
Listen to the traps and drums!
Rooster call and baby squall
is right in tune,
with the fiddle's obligato
to the deep bassoon.
Trombone flat on his back,
a moaning like a naughty child
it's the Razza Pazza za of a real jazz band,
that's what makes the wild cat wild.

Hear that saxophone hum, oh!
Listen to the traps and drums!
Rooster call and baby squall
is right in tune,
with the fiddle's obligato
to the deep bassoon.
Trombone flat on his back,
a moaning like a naughty child
it's the Razza Pazza za of a real jazz band,
that's what makes the wild cat wild.
