I do believe it's my appointed duty
To tell you
When I’m feeling kinda gloomy
A swingin' beat
Is all I need to soothe me
Then all my cares
And worries seem to lose me
Cause there ain’t nothing
Nothing like the sound of Jazz
When I slip into the beat
It goes right through me
That’s when I feel the rhythm
Start to groove me
The only kind of music that can move me
So don’t you even bother
Tryin’ to fool me
Cause there ain’t nothing
Nothing like the sound of Jazz
When I hear those drums
Beating four to the bar
It makes me want to swing and sway
And when the saxophone wails
It never fails
To chase my blues away
So when you’re feeling lonely
Let me tell ya
Just slip into the beat
And let it groove ya
Its Dizzy, Duke and Ella
That can cool ya
So doo wa ditty dwee da let me school ya
Cause there ain’t nothing
Nothing like the sound of Jazz
When I hear those drums
Beating four to the bar
It makes me want to swing and sway
And when the saxophone wails
It never fails
To chase my blues away
So when you’re feeling lonely
Let me tell ya
Just slip into the beat
And let it groove ya
Its Dizzy, Duke and Ella
That can cool ya
So doo wa ditty dwee da let me school ya
Cause there ain’t nothing
Nothing like the sound of Jazz
