| No use of talkin', no use of talkin'
|
| You’ll start in dog-walkin' no matter where
|
| There’s jazz-copation, blues modulation
|
| Just like a Haitian you’ll rip and tear
|
| Most everybody likes the blues
|
| Here’s why I’m ravin', here’s why I’m ravin'
|
| If it’s blues you are cravin', just come on down
|
| You’ll hear 'em playin', you’ll hear 'em playin'
|
| Soon you’ll be sayin', «Hon, jazz me 'round»
|
| Because your feet they can’t refuse
|
| What’s that familiar strain, that true blue note refrain?
|
| It’s drivin' me insane
|
| Can’t keep still though; |
| it’s against my will
|
| I’m on my P’s and Q’s; |
| I just can’t refuse
|
| There goes that melody; |
| it sounds so good to me And I am up a tree
|
| It’s a shame you don’t know the name
|
| It’s a brand new blues, the Royal Garden Blues
|
| Everybody Grab somebody and start jazzing 'round
|
| Hon, don’t you hear that trombone moan?
|
| Just listen to that saxophone
|
| Gee, hear that clarinet and flute
|
| Cornet jazzin' with a mute
|
| Makes me just throw myself away
|
| When I hear 'em play
|
| That weepin' melancholy strain
|
| Say, but it’s soothing to the brain
|
| Just wanna get right up and dance
|
| Don’t care--I'll take most any chance
|
| No other blues I’d care to choose
|
| But Royal Garden Blues |
