I have no kick against modern jazz Unless you try to play it too darn fast I lose the beauty of a melody Until it sounds just like a symphony That's why I go for that... I took my love on over 'cross the tracks So she could hear a man a-wailin' sax I must admit they had a rockin' band And they were blowin' like a hurrican' That's why I go for that... Way down south they gave a jubilee And Georgia folks, they had a jamboree They're drinkin' home brew from a wooden cup The folks dancin' got all shook up And started playin' that... Don't get to hear 'em play a tango I'm in no mood to take a mambo It's way too early for the congo So keep on rockin' that piano So I can hear some of that... ... Repeat Chorus after every Verse ...
