Basin Street Blues Lyrics by Kid Koala

Some of My Best Friends Are DJs

2003

[Voice over: Lionel Hampton]
Right now, we gonna get together and give you a tune that we had a lot of requests for, for, for…
It’s our version of, of, of, of…
[Instrumental: Basin Street Blues]
[Voice over: unknown]
People listen to jazz for fun, fun, fun
Dance to jazz for fun, fun fun
And play jazz for fun, fun, fun, fun
[Voice over: William Reynolds, in "Pete Kelly's Blues"]
From, from, from the start it had a kind of epileptic charm
It fitted the times
It made jokes and it wept
And it laughed out loud, it dozed and sometimes spoke with regret
