 7  -6*  7 -7*  8 -7* 7  -5*  7  7*  -7*
Down in Lou-is-ian-a in that sun-ny clime, 
-3*   7  -6*  7   7* -7* -7  -7* -8  8 -6   -6
They play a class of mus-ic that is su-per fine, 
-3* -3*  7  -6*  7  -7*  8
And it makes no dif-fer-ence 
-7* 7-5* 7   7*  -7*
if it's rain or shine, 
 8   8   -9*  -8   8   -8  -7* 7
You can hear that jazz-in' mus-ic 
-6  -5*  -6   7   -5*
Play-in' all the time. 
-3*  7   -6* 7 -7* 8-7*
It sounds so pe-cu-liar 
   7   -5*  7   7*   -7*
'cause the mus-ic’s queer, 
 7  -6*   7   7* -7*  -7   -7*  -8  8   -6  -6
How its sweet vi-bra-tion seems to fill the air, 
 7  -6*  7  -7*   8    -7*    
Then to you the whole world 
  7  -5* 7  7*  -7*
seems to be in rhyme; 
 8   -9  -9*  -8   8   -8  -7*   7   -6 -5*
You want noth-in' else but jazz band mus-ic,
-6   7  -5* 
all the time. 
-7*-7* -7*   -6    -7*
Ev-‘ry one that’s nigh
-7*-7*  -7*  7  -7*
Nev-er seems to sigh
 -9   8*   8   -6 -7*
hear them loud-ly cry: 

-8   8    7
Oh, jazz man!
 -8    8    -8   8 -8  8-8   8   -6   8   -6 
Don’t stop that mus-ic it’s jazz man jazz man
-6  -7* -7* 8   -6 -7* -7* 8 -6 -7*  8   -7*
You know I want to hear it both day and night, 
-7* 8  -9   -9*   8  -7*  8
And if you don't blow it hot 
 -7* 7  -6    7    -7*
then I don't feel right, 
-7 -7*  -8   8   7      -8    8
Now if it's rag-time, please sir
 -8   8   -8  8  -8  8    -6    8    -6
Will you play it in jazz time, Jazz time! 
  7    7   7   7      7    7   7   7
Don't want it fast, don't want it slow; 
 7    -6   7     -6    7   -6
Take your time, don’t rush it, 
 7   -6  -7*  -7* -7*
play it sweet and low! 
 -7  -7*  -8    8   8     8    8
I’ve got those dog-gone, real gone 
 8    -9   9  -7*  -9*
Jazz band jazz-me blues!
