Put on a record
fast or slow
it's cold outside
no place to go
let's Jitterbug
down ol'Monk Lane
along the tracks
of some Coltrane
you be my
Holiday tonight
I'll be your Goodman
treat you right
let's heat it up
let's cut a rug
leap to my Armstrong's
share a hug
saxophones wail
cool, and clear
your husky voice
croons in my ear
now I'm the Duke
and you're the Duchess
shufflin' Miles with Davis
no one can touch us
I'll count the ways
you make me crazy
as we go swinging
to some Basie
then some Charlie Parker
he transforms
Jazz into Kansas City storms
If your not yet Dizzy
let's not stop
let's try Gillespie's
hot Be-Bop
snow's piling up
but we don't care
cause jazz is cool
beyond compare
We'll both spin and jump
jitter, and spasm
till we both lie spent
from our wild or-Jazz-am's
Put on record
let it flow
Baby, it's cool inside
come on let's go
