Thoroughly Modern Millie movie - Jazz Baby lyrics

rate me

<br>

Muzzy:<br>

My daddy was a rag-time trombone player,<br>

My mommy was a rag-time cabaret-er.<br>

They met one day at a tango tea,<br>

There was a syncopated wedding,<br>

And then came me!<br>

Folks think the way I walk is a fad,<br>

But it's a birthday present from my mommy and dad-dy.<br>

I'm a jazz baby, little jazz baby, that's me.<br>

There's something in the tone of a saxophone<br>

That makes me do a little wiggle all my own!<br>

'Cause I'm a jazz baby,<br>

Full of jazz-bo harmony.<br>

That "Walk The Dog" and "Ball The Jack" that caused all the talk<br>

Is just a copy of the way I naturally walk!<br>

'Cause I'm a jazz baby, little jazz baby that's me!<br>

Rock to sleep while the cradle went to and fro,<br>

To and fro to the tune of the tickle-toe.<br>

Ever since I started into grow,<br>

Love to hear the music playing, see my dear old mammy swayin'!<br>

Razz-ma-tazz, that's all I ever knew,<br>

All day long I never would get through <br>

Jazz-ma-tazz, that's all I want to do,<br>

So play me a little jazz!!<br>

Jazz baby, full of jazz-bo harmony.<br>

The wailin' of the saxes when those fellas go mad<br>

Cannot compare with what I got from mommy and dad.<br>

So hear this jazz baby,<br>

Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah...<br>

Little jazz<br>

Baby, that's me.<br>

<br>
