《At The Jazz Band Ball(Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] At The Jazz Band Ball - Susannah McCorkle

[00:00:06] Back when a nickel would buy

[00:00:08] One drink of respectable rye

[00:00:11] The players in the honky tonks

[00:00:13] Would have to work on a slide

[00:00:15] One two was known to a few

[00:00:18] Some steady habitues too

[00:00:20] So the word of mouth spread around the south

[00:00:23] So entrez nous

[00:00:24] You better dig that jazz band ball

[00:00:27] Cause it's the ball of them all

[00:00:29] For five musicians in the small saloon

[00:00:32] Inventin' the rag time tune

[00:00:34] They kind made up their own brand

[00:00:36] Without a note on the stand

[00:00:39] And they called it D I X I E

[00:00:41] Hot pan alley candy land

[00:00:49] Well sir you know it caught on

[00:00:52] What's more it was strictly bontom

[00:00:54] Cause like the winner at the starting gate

[00:00:56] The music got it and gone

[00:00:59] Jazz moved from over the tracks

[00:01:01] Into the society shacks

[00:01:04] It was wonderful

[00:01:05] And deductible from the income tax

[00:01:08] You better dig that jazz band ball

[00:01:10] It's the ball of them all

[00:01:13] When the trumpet player took a monologue

[00:01:16] The people said "oh hot dog"

[00:01:18] And if you ask them why the yell

[00:01:20] They kinda grin then say well

[00:01:23] When the band plays J A double zee

[00:01:25] It's a B A double L

[00:02:23] You better dig that jazz band ball

[00:02:26] Cause it's the ball of them all

[00:02:37] When the band plays J A double zee

[00:02:40] It's a B A double L

[00:02:43] Ball
