le jazz hot

Henry Mancini

Bout twenty years ago way down in new orleans
A group of fellers found a new kind of music
An they decided to call it
All
Jazz!
Male singer
No other sound had what this music has
Before they new it, it was whizzin round the world
The world was ready for a blue kind of music
An now they play it from steamboat springs to la paz
There is a story that began in new orleans
About this lady who discovered this music
She fell completely in love with
All
Jazz!
Male singer
No one has loved it like this lady has
They say today the lady travels round the world
You ll only see her where they re playin this music
That s why they ve seen her from steamboat springs to
La paz
Jazz as her escort, to give her jazzamatazz!
Victor
Oh baby, won t you play me
Le jazz hot, maybe
And don t ever let it end
I tell ya friend, it s really somethin to hear
I can t sit still when there s that rhythm near me
Also, baby, le jazz hot, maybe
What s holdin my soul together!
Don t know whether it s mornin or night
Only know it s soundin right
So come on in and play me
Le jazz hot, baby
Cause I love my jazz... hot!
