Everybody Jam! - Scatman John

Hey Louis!

Yeah?

Is that you?

Yes, yes

Oh, I’m Scatman John.

Would you like to sing a song man?

Well, sure could!

Look out!

One, two, three, four

Everybody party down in Louisiana

Everybody jam, yeah

Everybody come and take a ride with me

Follow me everybody

Let’s head down south to the land

With the man with the message

His name was Satch

And he played on the match

Everytime he played the horn

Another blues was born

Everybody’s saying

That the way he was playing

Had the whole world praying

That he never gonna stop

He taught the Scatman all about scat

He’s the father of it all, as a matter of fact

Louis was a legend in New Orleans

And the Louisiana Dixieland scene

He made a decision that the old time religion

To be played out the horn

And the blues was born

Satchmo’s breathing deep In my soul

Let me sing it to you, Hallelujah

Hey, hey, whaddya say?

Everybody party down in Louisiana

Everybody jam

Everybody come an take a ride with me (Hey, hey, whaddya say?)

Get out the way, let Louis play!

Take a lessons that I learnt from Louis

He only give it to us 'cause he knew it would renew us

Love is the answer, scat’s where it’s at

Louis said that you could even teach your cat scat!

Hear me talking, I be talking to you

Louis was one swinging happy guru

You wanna hear the greatest trumpet in the world?

Well…

Sing along with me, sing along now

Join me in the opening and join me in the bow

Singing in the sunset, singing at the dawn

You’ve gotta get it up if you want to get it on

Satchmo’s breathing deep in my soul

Let me sing it to you, Hallelujah

Hey, hey, whaddya say?

Get out the way, let Louis play!

Everybody party down in Louisiana

Everybody jam (Everybody, yeah!)

Everybody come and take a ride with me (Yes, yes)

Everybody!

What’d you think of that scat, Satch?

As we cats say, it gassed, man

How about a little solo Louis?

Now, blow your horn, Louis!

Everybody party down in Louisiana

Everybody jam (Hey, hey, whaddya say?)

Everybody come and take a ride with me

Everybody party down in Louisiana

Everybody jam (Hey, hey, whaddya say?)

Everybody come and take a ride with me (Hey, hey, whaddya say?)

Get out the way, let Louis play!
