What Is This Thing Called Swing? - Louis Armstrong (路易斯·阿姆斯特朗)
Written by：L. Armstrong Gerlach
Now fifteen cats were swinging like you never heard before
Each one took a solo and the people cried for more
All at once the leader stopped and hollered to the band
Boys I like your playing but I just don't understand
What is this thing called swing
What is this thing called swing
Is it jazz or dragtime
Futuristic ragtime
What is this thing called swing
Now if swing's the thing you talk about
I might have the boys to beat it out
First of all our saxophones
Gonna rattle off some mellow tones
Yes sir get together boys
Thank you
Now folks don't get too hot
'Cause that rhythm section's coming up
And they're really on the spot
You're lonly scat
Yes Sir
Thank you
Now when gabriel starts his jamboree
He's got to blow six brass for me
Get your chops together boys
I'm coming over there after ya yes Sir
Take your hot rock beat it out
Show them where our swing's about
How d'ya like that little cats telling me to beat it out
Well you just let me get this organ to my wait wait
Wait wait wait wait
