'Bout twenty years ago, way down in New Orleans
A group of fellows found a new kind of music
And they decided to call it jazz
No other sound has what this music has
Before they knew it
It was whizzing 'round the world
The world was ready for a blue kind of music
And now they play it from Steamboat Springs to La Paz
[01:22.78
Le jazz hot maybe and don't ever let it end
I tell ya, friend
It's really something to hear
I can't sit still
When there's that rhythm near me
Oh, so baby, le jazz hot maybe
What's holding my soul together
Don't know whether it's morning or night
Only know it's sounding right
So come on in and play me
Le jazz hot, baby
'Cause I love my jazz hot
Before they knew it
It was squeezing 'round the world
The world was ready for a blue kind of music
And now they play it from Steamboat Springs to La Paz
When you play me, le jazz hot, baby
You're holding my soul together
Don't know whether it's morning or night
Only know it's sounding right
So come on in and play me
Le jazz hot, baby
'Cause I love my jazz hot
