Thombone Cholly (03-03-27) |
Know a fool that blows a horn |
He came from way down south |
I ain’t heard such blowin' since I was born |
When that trombone’s in his mouth! |
He wails and moans |
He grunts and groans |
He moans just like a cow! |
Nobody else can do his stuff |
For he won’t teach them how! |
Oh Cholly, blow that thing |
That slide trombone; |
Make it talk, make it sing |
Lawdy, where did you get that tone? |
If Gabriel knows how you could blow |
He’ll let you lead his band, I know! |
Oh Cholly, blow that thing |
Play that slide trombone |
Oh Cholly, make it sing |
That slide trombone |
You’ll even make a king |
Get down off his throne; |
And he would breaka leg, I know |
A-doin' the charleston while you blow! |
Oh Cholly Green, play that thing |
I mean that slide trombone! |
