Hey Louis!
Yeah?
Is that you?
Yes, yes
Oh, I'm Scatman John! Would you like to sing a song man?
Well, sure could! Look out!
One, two, three, four
Everybody party down in Louisiana
Everybody jam (yeah!)
Everybody come and take a ride with me
Follow me everybody
Let's head down south to the land
With the man with the message
His name was Satch
And he played on the match
Everytime he played the horn
Another blues was born
Everybody's saying
That the way he was playing
Had the whole world praying
That he never gonna stop
He taught the Scatman all about scat
He's the father of it all, as a matter of fact
Louis was a legend in New Orleans
And the Louisiana Dixieland scene
He made a decision that the old time religion
To be played out the horn
And the blues was born
Satchmo's breathing deep in my soul
Let me sing it to you, Hallelujah
(Hey, hey, whaddya say?)
Everybody party down in Louisiana
Everybody jam
Everybody come and take a ride with me
(Hey, hey, whaddya say?)
Get out the way, let Louis play!
Take a lessons that I learnt from Louis
He only give it to us 'cause he knew it would renew us
Love is the answer, scat's where it's at
Louis said that you could even teach your cat scat!
Hear me talking, I be talking to you
Louis was one swinging happy guru
You wanna hear the greatest trumpet in the world? Well
Sing along with me, sing along now
Join me in the opening and join me in the bow
Singing in the sunset, singing at the dawn
You've gotta get it up if you want to get it on
Satchmo's breathing deep in my soul
Let me sing it to you, Hallelujah
(Hey, hey, whaddya say?)
Get out the way, let Louis play!
Everybody party down in Louisiana
Everybody jam
(Everybody, yeah!)
Everybody come and take a ride with me (yes!)
Everybody!
What'd you think of that scat, Satch?
As we cats say, it gassed, man
How about a little solo Louis? Yeah!
Now blow your horn, Louis!
Everybody party down in Louisiana
Everybody jam
(Hey, hey, whaddya say?)
Everybody come and take a ride with me
Everybody party down in Louisiana
Everybody jam
(Hey, hey, whaddya say?)
Everybody come and take a ride with me
(Hey, hey, whaddya say?)
Get out the way, let Louis play!
