Bing: Look out! Bob: You ready for this?
Who's that comin' down the thoroughfare The sunshine flashin' on his ring Bowin' left and right and here and there That's Chester, the trombone king
He gets his shirts straight from Paris Cigarettes from the Nile He tallks like a 'eyebrow', but he plays Chicago style
He gets his shoes made in London And they're real crocodile But he plays trombone... Chicago style
Bob: And he sometimes plays sweet Bing: Hup-toodle-oodle-oodle-dee-ooo Both: But sweet or hot, he's always got That real gut-bucket beat
He's got a neat Latin moustache And the girls love his smile But he plays trombone... Chicago style A trombone made in Newark Played in Chicago style
Chicago style
Chicago style
Bing: He gets his neckties from Naples And his socks from Argyle Speaks Oxford English, but he plays Chicago style
Bing: Wears a stickpin from Rio, are you listenin' You can see it for a mile But he plays trombone... Chicago style
Bob: And he sometimes plays sweet Bing: Uncle Jake's weary blues Both: But sweet or hot, he's always got That real gut-bucket beat
He likes New York for the Opera And gets two on the aisle But he plays trombone... Chicago style A trombone made in Newark Played in Chicago style
Bing: Yes sir Bob: Hey-hey Both: A trombone played Chicago style
