'Bout twenty years ago way down in New Orleans, A group of fella's found a new kind of music And they decided to call it jazz No other sound has what this music has.
Tempo Before they knew it, it was whizzin' round the world, The world was ready for a blue kind of music And now they play it from steamboat springs to L.A.
Oh baby, won't you play me le jazz hot maybe, And don't ever let it end. I tell ya, friend, it's really somethin' to hear, I can't sit still when there's that rhythm near me.
Also baby, le jazz hot maybe, What's holdin' my soul together Don't know whether it's mornin' or night Only know it's soundin' right
So come on in and play me le jazz hot baby, 'Cause I love my jazz hot!
