Now You Has Jazz (from "High Society")

Now You Has Jazz - Louis Armstrong (路易斯·阿姆斯特朗)/Kid Ory/Johnny Dodds/Lil Hardin

Dear gentlefolk of newport

Or maybe I should say hats and cats

I want you to lend an ear

Because eh I want you to hear

Some really shimmering

Sharps and flats

For these cozy virtuosi

Just about the greatest in the trade

Are fixin' to show you now

Precisely how

Or approximately jazz music is made

Well you take some

Skins jazz begins

Then you take a bass

Man now we're gettin' some place

Take a box

One that rocks

Take a blue horn new orleans born

Ah you take a stick

With a lick

Take a bone ho ho

Hold the phone

Take a spot

Cool and hot

Now you has jazz

Jazz jazz jazz jazz

Le tout ensemble

Ah that's positively

Therapeutic

Now you has jazz jazz jazz

Messrs hall and young

Ah said hall

And tommy young

Now you has messrs kyle and shaw

That's billy kyle

Arvel shaw

Now you has Mr barret deans

Well listen to well you know what

Say hey pops you wanna

Grab a little of what's

Left here

Yeah daddy yeah here we go

If you sail a sailin'

Sailin' over the sea

When you wait for me

Take my tip they're

All molto hip in italy

Well arrivederci as for france

Oh I know you're very big there

Yes believe it or not

I do believe

I do indeed

The frenchmen's all prefer

What they call 'le jazz hot'

Take a plane go to siam

In bangkok today 'round the clock

Well they all like to jam

Indians on the amazon

Beat one bar and all of 'em are

Ah well gone man gone

Ah from the equator up to the pole

Everybody wingin' everybody singin'

That rock rock rock

Rock rock and roll

From the east to the west

From the coast to the coast

Jazz is king

Jazz is the thing

That folks

Dig most

Now that's jazz
