(The Zaz-Zuh-Zaz chorus has been simplified here from Cab's scatted version.)
|
|
Now, here's a very entrancing phrase,
|
It will put you in a daze,
|
To me it don't mean a thing,
|
But it's got a very peculiar swing!
|
Zaz-zuh-zaz-zuh-zaz,
|
Zaz-zuh-zaz-zuh-zay,
|
Zaz-zuh-zaz-zuh-zaz,
|
Zaz-zuh-zaz-zuh-zay!
|
|
Now, zaz-zuh-zaz was handed down
|
From a bloke down in Chinatown;
|
It seems his name was Smoky Joe,
|
And he used to hi-de-hi-de-ho.
|
Zaz-zuh-zaz-zuh-zaz,
|
Zaz-zuh-zaz-zuh-zay,
|
Zaz-zuh-zaz-zuh-zaz,
|
Zaz-zuh-zaz-zuh-zay!
|
|
When Smoky Joe came into town
|
And he kicked the gong around,
|
Any place that he would go
|
Minnie the Moocher she was sure to go,
|
With her zaz-zuh-zaz,
|
Zaz-zuh-zaz-zuh-zay,
|
Zaz-zuh-zaz-zuh-zaz,
|
Zaz-zuh-zaz-zuh-zay!
|
|
It makes no difference where you go,
|
There's one thing that they sure do know:
|
There's no need for them to be blue,
|
For the zaz-suh-zaz will always see them through!
|
Zaz-zuh-zaz-zuh-zaz,
|
Zaz-zuh-zaz-zuh-zay,
|
Zaz-zuh-zaz-zuh-zaz,
|
Zaz-zuh-zaz-zuh-zay!
