Chantez les bas (Sing ’Em Low) Louis Armstrong and His All Stars

Down in Louisiana, Louisiana
The land of Creole Sues
Patois, Mardi Gras
And romantic blues
Once I heard a lover, when work was over
Strum a Creole tune
To his pretty lovey dovey
Underneath the Dixie Moon, I heard her say

Chantez-les bas
That means Creole sing 'em low, yeah
Chantez-les bas
She liked her blues played sweetly and slow, yeah
Chantez-les bas
I can't forget that lovely serenade
And if you listen to me just a while
I'll try to sing for you what they say

Oh in the mornin' baby
Jes' fore day, in the mornin'
Jes' fore day, in the mornin'
Jes' fore day in New Orleans, hey, hey!

(Scat singing), yes
Chantez-les bas
Chantez-les bas, take it Trummy
