High Society movie - NOW YOU HAS JAZZ lyrics

rate me

<br>

DEXTER and ARMSTRONG:<br>

Gentlefolk of Newport<br>

Or should I say "hats and cats,"<br>

Please lend an ear<br>

That ye all may hear<br>

Some shimmering sharps and flats.<br>

For those cozy virtuosi,<br>

Known as "hipsters" to the trade,<br>

Wish to show you now<br>

Precisely how<br>

Jazz music is made.<br>

<br>

Take some skins,<br>

Jazz begins,<br>

Take a bass<br>

Steady pace,<br>

Take a box,<br>

One that rocks,<br>

Take a blue horn New Orleans-born.<br>

Take a stick<br>

With a lick,<br>

Take a bone,<br>

Dixie-grown,<br>

Take a spot,<br>

Cool and hot,<br>

Now you has jazz jazz jazz, jazz, jazz.<br>

<br>

Now you has,<br>

Now you has,<br>

Now you has,<br>

Now you has,<br>

Now you has,<br>

Now you has,<br>

Now you has jazz, jazz, jazz, jazz, jazz, jazz,<br>

Now you<br>

Has,<br>

Now you<br>

Has,<br>

Now you<br>

Has,<br>

Now you has jazz, jazz, jazz, jazz, jazz.<br>

<br>

Jazz,<br>

Jazz,<br>

Jazz,<br>

Jazz,<br>

Jazz,<br>

Jazz,<br>

Now you has jazz,<br>

Now you has jazz,<br>

Now you has jazz.<br>

<br>

EXTRA REFRAIN<br>

If you sail<br>

Over the sea,<br>

Take my tip<br>

They're all molto hip<br>

In Italy.<br>

As for France,<br>

B'lieve it or not,<br>

Frenchmen all <br>

Prefer what they call<br>

"Le Jazz Hot."<br>

Take a plane<br>

Go to Siam,<br>

In Bangkok<br>

Today, 'round the clock,<br>

They have a jam.<br>

Indians on<br>

The Amazon<br>

Beat one bar<br>

And all of 'em are<br>

Gone, man, gone.<br>

From the Equator<br>

Up to the Pole,<br>

Through the air<br>

You hear ev'rywhere<br>

Rock and roll.<br>

From the East<br>

Out to the West,<br>

Jazz is king,<br>

'Cause jazz is the thing<br>

Folks<br>

Dig<br>

Best.<br>
