Ethel Waters — Jazzin Babies Blues

[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
