'Bout twenty years ago way down in New Orleans,
A group of fellers found a new kind of music.
An' they decided to call it..
Jazz!No other sound has what this music has.
Before they knew it, it was whizzin' 'round the world.
The world was ready for a blue kind of music,
An' now they play it from Steamboat Springs to La Paz.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!Before they knew it, it was whizzin' 'round the world.
The world was ready for a blue kind of music,
An' now they play it from Steamboat Springs to La Paz.When you play me Le Jazz Hot, baby
You're 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
Le Jazz...
Hooooooooooooooooooot!Le Jazz Hot!
