At the Jazz Band Ball - Louis Armstrong Bing Crosby

Back when a nickel would buy
A jug jigger of respectable rye

Yeah the players in the honky tonks

Would have to work on a slide

One two was known to a few
Some steady habitues too
So the word of mouth spread around the south
Very entrez nous
You better dig that jazz band ball
'Cause it's the ball of them all

All five positions in the small saloon

Inventing the rag time tune
Because they made up their own brand

Without a note up on the stand
And they called it D I X I E
Hot pan alley candy land

Well sir you know it caught on

What's more it was strictly bottom

'Cause like the winner at the starting gate

The music got it and gone
It moved from over the tracks

Into the society shacks
It was wonderful
And deductible from the income tax
You better dig that jazz band ball
'Cause it's the ball of them all

When the trumpet player takes a monologue

The people shout well ooh that dog
And if you ask how come that yell

They kinda grin then say well
When the band plays J A double zee
It's a B A double L

When the band plays J A double zee
It's a B A double L
