I blow thru here
The music goes 'round and around
Whoa-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho
And it comes out here
I push the first valve down
The music goes down and around
Whoa-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho
And it comes out here
I push the middle valve down
The music goes down and around below
Below, below, deedle-dee-ho-ho-ho
Listen to the jazz come out
I push the other valve down
The music goes 'round and around
Whoa-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho
And it comes out here

As recorded by MAE QUESTEL with Red Norvo & His Band:
One night while playing in the band
A girl came up, she said, "You're grand"
So I replied in words low down
"Now this is how the music goes round"
I blow through here
The music goes round and around.
Hoh-hoh-hoh-ooh-ooh-hoo
And it comes up here
I push the first valve down
The music goes down and round
Hoh-hoh-hoh-ooh-ooh-hoo
And it comes up here
Ha-ha, I push the middle valve down
The music goes down around
Below! Below! Below!
Diddly-hoh-hoh-hoh
Listen to the jazz come out
Oh, I push the other valve down
The music goes round and around
Hoh-hoh-hoh-ooh-ooh-hoo
And it comes out here
(Instrumental Break)
Listen to the jazz come out
Whoooo!
(Instrumental Break)
Ha-ha, oh boy!
Mother Goose you see
She likes this melody
Hoh-hoh-hoh-ooh-ooh-hoo
Yes, our favorite song
Deeddle-eeddle-hah-hah-hah
The cow jumped over the moon
When she heard this tune
Moo-moo-moo-moo-moo-moo
Now, did she do wrong
Hum?
Fee-fi-fo-fo-fum
The giant man did hum
Below Below Below.
Hiddly-ho-ho-ho
Little Jack was not afraid
On a little horn he found
He played the music goes round and around
Ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho
And the giant fell down
Bing! Bang! Boom!
The music goes round and round
Huh!
