Ballin’ the Jack Lyrics by Jelly Roll Morton

Art Deco Vocal Jazz of the 30's

0

[Intro]
[Clarinet Solo]
[Verse 1]
Just put those two knees close up tight
Swing to the left, swing to the right
Step 'round town nice and light
Twist around and twist around with all your might
[Verse 2]
Stretch your lovin' arms way out in space
You do the Eagle Rock with style and grace
Move your foot way 'round, bring it back
That's what I call "Ballin' the Jack"
[Trombone Solo]
[Trumpet Solo]
[Saxophone Solo]
[Outro]
