carol channing - jazz baby lyrics

my daddy was a rag-time trombone player
my mommy was a rag-time cabaret-er
they met one day at a tango tea
there was a syncopated wedding
and then came me
folks think the way i walk is a fad
but it’s a birthday present from my mommy and dad-dy
i’m a jazz baby, little jazz baby, that’s me

there’s something in the tone of a saxophone
that makes me do a little wiggle all my own
’cause i’m a jazz baby
full of jazz-bo harmony
that “walk the dog” and “ball the jack” that caused all the talk
is just a copy of the way i naturally walk
’cause i’m a jazz baby, little jazz baby that’s me

rock to sleep while the cradle went to and fro
to and fro to the tune of the tickle-toe
ever since i started into grow
love to hear the music playing, see my dear old mammy swayin’
razz-ma-tazz, that’s all i ever knew
all day long i never would get through
jazz-ma-tazz, that’s all i want to do
so play me a little jazz
jazz baby, full of jazz-bo harmony
the wailin’ of the saxes when those fellas go mad
cannot compare with what i got from mommy and dad
so hear this jazz baby
ah, ah, ah, ah
little jazz
baby, that’s me
