Louis Armstrong - The Trumpet Player's Lament

Tekst piosenki:

Why do I have play
Hot music that's really not music
Why do they make me take part in it
When I've no part in it

Give me Debussy
I don't know
What you see in jazz
In spite of the rhythm it has

Can't you het
Someone like Yuba
To swing on his tuba
……….. La Juba to me

I may be so so
No great virtuoso
But I don't want to play hot music
Please let me be

I wish I could play
Like Jose in turn me
Instead of blowing notes
Into a derby

Someone who knows art
Take something from Mozart
To sing
Instead of swing.
