louis armstrong – high society calypso lyrics
(cole porter)
louis armstrong – 1956
[armstrong]
just dig that scenery floating by,
we’re now approaching newport, rhode i.
we’ve been, for years, in variety,
but, cholly knickerbocker, now we’re going to be
[all]
in high, high so-
high so-ci-,
high so-ci-ety.
[armstrong]
i wanna play for my former pal-
he runs the local jazz festival.
his name is dexter and he’s good news,
but sumping kind of tells me that he’s nursing the blues
[all]
in high, high so-,
high so-ci-,
high so-ci-ety.
[armstrong]
he’s got the blues ’cause his wife, alas,
thought writing songs was beneath his cl-ss,
but writing songs he’d not stop, of course,
and so she flew to vegas for a quickie divorce
[all]
in high, high so-,
high so-ci-,
high so-ci-ety.
[armstrong]
to make him sadder, his former wife
begins tomorrow a brand-new life.
she started lately a new affair
and now the silly chick is gonna marry a square
[all]
in high so-,
high so-ci-,
high so-ci-ety.
[armstrong]
but, brother dexter, just trust your satch,
to stop that wedding and kill that match.
i’ll toot my trumpet to start the fun,
and play in such a way that she’ll come back to you, son,
[all]
in high, high so-
high so-ci-,
high so-ci-ety.
