Dixieland Band - Jack Jones
Written by：Bernie Hanighen/Johnny Mercer
Ever hear the story of the Dixieland band
Let me tell you brother and the music was grand
They had a piano and a clarinet
Only thing they needed was a second cornet
And that's what leads to the ruin
Ruin of the Dixieland band
When the folks would holler for the maple leaf rag
They would get to swinging but the trumpet would drag
They had to keep him
'Cause he played so sweet
But they needed someone who could give them a beat
Someone who's born with the rhythm
Rhythm of the Dixieland band
He'd play so sweetly
Instead of playing
He'd play so sweetly
They'd be saying
Sure enough he got 'em so they couldn't play right
Finally he dogged 'em on a Saturday night
He hit a foggy that was off the chord
Apoplexy got 'em and they went to the lord
And that is the pitiful story
The story of the Dixieland band
Now they're up in heaven and they're happy at last
'Cause they found a trumpet man who really can blast
The way he swings 'em is an awful shame
He can really do it Gabriel is his name
Now folks here is a sample
Listen to the Dixieland band
If you hour start to play
Don't you be afraid of Dixieland
'Cause he played so sweet
I have to the Dixieland band just to play
