Little Jazz Bird |
| Into a cabaret |
| One fatal day |
| A little songbird flew |
| Found it so very gay |
| He thought he’d stay |
| Just to get a bird’s eye view |
| When he heard the jazz band playing |
| He was happy as a lark |
| To each measure he kept swaying |
| And he stayed 'til after dark |
| Then back to the land he knew |
| Thrilled through and through |
| He sailed on in the air |
| Called all the other birds |
| And in these words |
| Started gurgling then and there |
| I’m a little jazz bird |
| And I’m telling you to be one too |
| For a little jazz bird |
| Is in heaven when it’s singin' blue |
| I say it with regret |
| But you’re out of date |
| You ain’t heard nothing yet |
| 'Til you syncopate |
| When the going is rough |
| You will find your troubles all have flown |
| If you warble your stuff |
| Like the moanin' of a saxophone |
| Just try my recipe |
| And I’m sure you’ll agree |
| That a little jazz bird |
| Is the only kind of bird to be |
| (piano solo) |
| I say it with regret |
| But you’re out of date |
| You ain’t heard nothing yet |
| 'Til you syncopate |
| When the going is rough |
| You will find your troubles all have flown |
| If you warble your stuff |
| Like the moanin' of a saxophone |
| Just try my recipe |
| And I’m sure you’ll agree |
| That a little jazz bird |
| Is the only kind of bird to be |
