Now You Has Jazz Cole Porter (Ft. Bing Crosby & Louis Armstrong)

Dear gentlefolk of Newport
Or maybe I should say, hats and cats
I want you to lend an ear
Because, eh, I want you to hear
Some really shimmering sharps and flats

For these cozy virtuosi
Just about the greatest in the trade
Are fixin' to show you now precisely how
Or approximately jazz music is made

Well, you take some skins, jazz begins
Then you take a bass
Man, now we're gettin' some place
Take a box, one that rocks
Take a blue horn, New Orleans-born

Ah, you take a stick with a lick
Take a bone, ho-ho-hold the phone
Take a spot, cool and hot
Now you has jazz, jazz, jazz, jazz, jazz
Le tout ensemble

Ah, that's positively therapeutic
Now you has jazz, jazz, jazz
Messrs, Hall and Young
Ah said Hall and Tommy Young
