What Is This Thing Called Swing? - Louis Armstrong And His Orchestra

Written by：Horace Gerlach/Louis Armstrong

Now fifteen cats were swingin' like

You never heard before

Each one took a solo

And the people cried for more

All at once the leader stopped

And hollered to the band

Boys I like your playin'

But I just don't understand

What is this thing called swing

What is this thing called swing

Is it jazz or dragtime

Futuristic ragtime

What is this thing called swing

Now if swing's the thing you talk about

I might have the boys to beat it out

First of all our saxophones

Gonna rattle off some mellow tones

Yes sir get together boys

Thank you

Now folks don't get too hot

'Cause that rhythm section's comin' up

And they're really on the spot

You are lee scat yes sir

Thank you

Now when Gabriel starts his jamboree

He's got to blow six brass for me

Get your chops together boys

I'm comin' over there after ya yes sir

Take your hot rock beat it out

Show them where our swing's about

How d'ya like that

Little cats tellin' me to beat it out

Well you let me get this organ to my mouth

Wait a minute wait a minute
