<br>

Music: Cole Porter<br>

Lyrics: Cole Porter<br>

Premiere: 1956<br>

<br>

ARMSTRONG:<br>

Just dig that scenery floatin' by.<br>

we're now approachin' Newport Rhode 1.<br>

We've been forever in Variety.<br>

But Cholly Knickerbocker, now we're goin' to be<br>

<br>

ALL:<br>

In high, High-So-,<br>

High So-ci,<br>

High So-ci-ety.<br>

<br>

ARMSTRONG:<br>

I wanna play for my former pal-<br>

He runs the local jazz festival.<br>

His name is Dexter and he's good news,<br>

But sumpin' kinda tells me that he's nursing' the blues<br>

<br>

ALL:<br>

In high, High-So-,<br>

High So-ci,<br>

High So-ci-ety.<br>

<br>

ARMSTRONG:<br>

He's got the blues 'cause his wife, alas,<br>

Thought writin' songs was beneath his class,<br>

But writin' songs he'd not stop, of course,<br>

And so he flew to Vegas for a quicky divorce.<br>

<br>

ALL:<br>

In high, High-So-,<br>

High So-ci,<br>

High So-ci-ety.<br>

<br>

ARMSTRONG:<br>

To make him sadder, his former wife<br>

Begins tomorrow a brand new life.<br>

She started lately a new affair<br>

And now the silly chick is gonna marry a square.<br>

<br>

ALL:<br>

In high, High-So-,<br>

High So-ci,<br>

<br>

High So-ci-ety.<br>

<br>

ARMSTRONG:<br>

But, Brother Dexter, just trust your Satch,<br>

To stop that weddin' and kill that match.<br>

I'll not toot my trumpet to start the fun,<br>

And play in such a way that she'll come back to you, son,<br>

<br>

ALL:<br>

In high, High-So-,<br>

High So-ci,<br>

High So-ci-ety.<br>

<br>
