12TH STREET RAG
W: James Sumner
M: Euday Bowman
Louis Armstrong
Key: C
4 -4 -3 4 -4 -3
In a cer-tain ci-ty,
4 -4 -3 4 -4 -3 4 -4
where the girls are cute and pret-ty,
-3 4 -4 -3 4 -4 -3 4 -4 -3
they have a rag-gy jaz-zy jazz-time tune.
4 -4 -3 4 -4 -3 4 -4
When you hear that syn-co-pat-ed
-3 4 -4 -3 4 -4 -3
Jazz cre-a-ted mel-o-dy
4 -4 -3 4 -4 -3 4 -4 -3
you could dance all morn-ing night and noon,
4 -4 -3 4 -4
When the slide trom-bone
-3 4 -4 -3 4 -4 -3 4 -4 -3
and moan-ing sax-o-phone be-gin to play.
4 -4 -3 4 -4 -3 4 -4 -3
It will make you sad, 'twill make you glad
2 -1 -4 -3 3 -3 -4
Oh! Boy, What Joy, Burn my clothes
3 -3 -4 -3 3
for I'm in Heav-en,
3 -3 -4 3 -3 -4 -3 3
Wish I had a mil-lion wo-men,
4 -4 -3 4 -4 -3 4 -4
Sol-o-man in all his glo-ry,
-3 4 -4 -3 4 -4 -3 4
could have told an-oth-er sto-ry,
-4 -3 4 -4 -3 4 -4 -3
Were he but liv-ing here to-day,
4 -4 -3 4 -4 -3 4
With his thou-sand wives or more,
-4 -3 4 -4 -3 4 -4 -3
a Jazz-Band on some E-gypt shore,
4 -4 -3 4 -4 -3 4 -4 -3
he could dance the night and day a-way.
4 4 4 4 4 4 4
I will tell you how they dance
3 -3 3 6 5 6 -5 5
That tant-a-liz-ing 12th. Street Rag.
Chorus:
5 5 -4 -3 3 4 -4
First you slide and then you glide,
-3 -4 -6 -3 3* 3
then shim-mie for a while;
-4 -4 -3 3 -4 -4 -3
To the left then to the right
3 4 4 -4 -3 3
"Lame Duck" "Get o-ver Sal"
4 4 -4 -3 3 4 -4
Watch your step then Pi-rou-ette,
-3 -4 -4 -3 3* 3
Fox Trot, then squeeze your pal
2 -1 -4 -3 3 -3
O-ver you comes steal-ing
-4 3 -3 -4 -3 3
such a fun-ny feel-ing
3 -3 -4 3 -3 -4 -3 3
'till you feel your sen-ses reel-ing,
4 4 -4 -3 3 4 -4 -3
tant-a-liz-ing, hyp-no-tiz-ing,
-4 -4 -3 3 3
mes-mer-iz-ing strain,
-4 -4 -3 3 -4 -4 -3
I can't get e-nough of it
3 4 4 -4 -3 3
please play it o'er a-gain;
4 4 4 4 4 -5 -5* -5 5 6
I could dance for ev-er to this re-frain,
6 -5 6 -5
To that 12th. Street,
6 -5 6 -5 5
Oh you 12th. Street Rag.
