JAZZIN' THE BLUES AWAY
(Dick Heinrich / Jeff Branen,   1918)


Mister let me tell you this is no place to be 
I just got to beat it you can take it from me 
Slip on your tuxedo and grab your hat
No use hanging 'round this flat 
Let's all go

Wait until you hear that moanin' groanin' trombone 
Played by Alexander he can't let it alone 
Crashing of them cymbals fills you with "pep" 
Ev'rybody watch your step 
Let's all go

Down to the hall down to that Ebony ball 
That one place I always lose those doggone Indigo blues 
because I'm sure to meet my Honey 
the gal that gets my money 
Mister Jazz and his band 
They sure do make you feel grand 
My goodness how they can play while with your baby you sway 
They are Jazzin' the Blues away.
