[Verse 1]
I'm feeling lonely for those jazz blues only
Since I heard those jazzin' babies play them
Each time I hear them, Lawdy, how I weep and moan
To hear that old slide trombone and that moanin' saxophone

[Verse 2]
I feel like rippin' when those jazzin', dippin'
Babies play, they harmonize together
I'd rather hear them than to have a million dollars in my hand
Jazz baby blues play somethin' that you can understand

[Verse 3]
Those jazzin' blues are driving me insane
There's nothin' to them but that blue refrain
Don't want no sugar in my tea
Jazz baby blues are sweet enough for me
For when the band starts jazzin', peaches shivers on the tree

[Verse 4]
Each time I hear those blues, I wanna scream
To hear the clarinet and that violin
Listen at that piano man jazzin' some
Oh, it makes me think of the good things that my sweet daddy's done
'Cause when the band starts jazzin', play 'em 'til the sergeant comes
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 5]
Now wouldn't that good music drive you insane?
There's nothin' to them but that blue refrain
When that cornet and flute begin to play
Oh, it makes me get up and throw my little self away
Just play those good old jazzin' baby blues all night and day
