The Hot Canary

de Henry Mancini

Bout twenty years ago way down in new orleans,
A group of fellers found a new kind of music.
An' they decided to call it...
All
Jazz!
Male singer
No other sound had what this music has.
Before they new it, it was whizzin' 'round the world.
The world was ready for a blue kind of music,
An' now they play it from steamboat springs to la paz.
There is a story that began in new orleans,
About this lady who discovered this music.
She fell completely in love with...
All
Jazz!
Male singer
No one has loved it like this lady has.
They say today the lady travels 'round the world;
You'll only see her where they're playin' this music
That's why they've seen her from steamboat springs to
La paz.
Jazz as her escort, to give her jazzamatazz!
Victor
Oh baby, won't you play me
Le jazz hot, maybe,
And don't ever let it end.
I tell ya friend, it's really somethin' to hear.
I can't sit still when there's that rhythm near me.
Also, baby, le jazz hot, maybe
What's holdin' my soul together!
Don't know whether it's mornin' or night;
Only know it's soundin' right.
So come on in and play me
Le jazz hot, baby,
'Cause I love my jazz...hot!
All
Before they knew it, it was whizzin' 'round the world.
The world was ready for a blue kind of music,
Victor
An' now they play it from steamboat springs to la paz.
All
Won't you play me...
Jazz hot, baby...
Don't...let...it...end!
Victor
I tell ya friend, it's really somethin' to..
All
I tell ya friend, it's really somethin' to...
Hear!
Victor
I can't sit still when there's that...
All
Rhythm near me.
Victor
'Cause I love my jazz...hot!
When you play me le jazz hot, baby
You're holdin' my soul together
All
Don't know whether it's mornin' or night;
Only know it's soundin' right;
Victor
So come on in and play me
Le jazz hot, baby,
'Cause I love my jazz hot
Love...jazz...
Hooooooooooooooooooot!
Le jazz hot!
