Now You Has Jazz
Composer(s): Cole Porter
Performer(s): Louis Armstrong;
Joe Bushkin; Bing Crosby; Terry Lightfoot



Gentlefolk of Newport
Or should I say "hats and cats"
Please lend an ear
That you all may hear
Some shimmering sharps and flats
For those cosy virtuosi
known as "hipsters" to the trade
wish to show you now
Precisely how
Jazz music is made

Take some skins
Jazz begins
Take a bass
Steady pace
Take a box
One that rocks
Take a blue horn New Orleans-born
Take a stick
With a lick
Take a bone
Dixie-grown
Take a spot
Cool and hot
Now you has jazz jazz jazz, jazz, jazz

Now you has (6x)
Now you has jazz, jazz, jazz, jazz, jazz, jazz
Now you
Has
Now you
Has
Now you
Has
Now you has jazz, jazz, jazz, jazz, jazz

Jazz (6x)
Now you has jazz (3x)

(Extra Refrain):
If you sail
Over the sea
Take my tip
They're all molto hip
In Italy
As for France
Believe it or not
Frenchmen all 
prefer what they call
"Le Jazz Hot"
Take a plane
Go to Siam
In Bangkok
Today, 'round the clock
They have a jam
Indians on
the Amazon
Beat one bar
and all of 'em are
gone, man, gone
From the Equator
Up to the Pole
Through the air
you hear everywhere
Rock and roll
From the East
Out to the West
Jazz is king
'Cause jazz is the thing
Folks
Dig
Best
