Le Hot Jazz

Julie Andrews · Other Songs - Julie Andrews

'Bout twenty years ago

Way down in New Orleans

A group of fellows found

A new kind of music

And they decided to call it...JAZZ

No other sound has

What this music has



Before they knew it

It was squeezing round the world

The world was ready

For a blue kind of music

And 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 you, friend

It's really something to hear

I can't stay still

When there's that rhythm near me



Oh, so baby

Le Jazz Hot may be

What's holding my soul together

Don't know whether it's morning or night

Only know it's sounding right

So come on in and play me

Le Jazz Hot maybe

Cause I love my jazz....HOT



Before they knew it

It was squeezing round the world

The world was ready

For a blue kind of music

And now they play it

From Steamboat Springs to La Paz



When you play me

Le Jazz Hot baby

You're holding my soul together

Don't know whether it's morning or night

Only know it's sounding right

So come on in and play me

Le Jazz Hot baby

Cause I love... my jazz hot

Le Jazz Hot...
