Video Jazz Baby de Marion Harris 2025 Lyrics Lyrics

Marion Harris - Jazz Baby Lyrics

My daddy was a rag-time trombone player
My mammy was a rag-time cabaret-er
They met one day at a tango tea
There was a syncopated wedding
And then came me

Folks think the way I walk is a fad
But it's just a birthday present from my mammy and dad
'Cause I'm a jazz baby, I wanna be jazzin' all the time

There's something in the tone of a saxophone
That makes me do a little wiggle all my own
'Cause I'm a jazz baby
Full of jazz-bo harmony

You know that Walk The Dog and Ball The Jack
That caused all the talk
Well, is just a copy of the way I naturally walk
'Cause I'm a jazz baby, little jazz baby that's me

Rock to sleep while the cradle went to and fro
To and fro to the tune of the tickle-toe
Ever since I started into grow
I love to hear the music playing
See my dear old mammy swayin'

Jazz! Jazz! That's all I ever knew
All day long
Oh! I never would get through
Jazz! Jazz! That's all I want to do
Play me a little jazz!

'Cause I'm a jazz baby, I want to be jazzin' all the time
There's something in the tone of a saxophone
That makes me do a little wiggle all my own
'Cause I'm a jazz baby
Full of jazz-bo harmony

You know that Walk The Dog and Ball The Jack
That caused all the talk
So, it's just a copy of the way I naturally walk
'Cause I'm a jazz baby, little jazz baby that's me
