High Society Calypso Lyrics by Cole Porter

High Society (Motion Picture Soundtrack)

0

[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
In high, high so
High soci
High society
[Verse 2]
I wanna play for my former pal
He runs the local jazz festival
His name is Dexter and he's good news
But something kind of tells me that he's nursing the blues
[Chorus]
In high, high so
High soci
High society
[Verse 3]
He's got the blues cause 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
[Chorus]
In high so
High soci
High society
[Verse 4]
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
[Chorus]
In high, high so
High soci
High society
[Outro]
In high society
Can you dig old Satchmo swinging in the beautiful high society
