That's jazz ["Now You Has Jazz" - Cole Porter] [Russian translation]

Dear gentlefolk of Newport,

Or maybe I should

Say hats and cats,

I want you to lend an ear,

Because uh, well, I want you

To hear some really

Shimmering sharps and flats,

For these cosy virtuosi,

Just about the greatest

In the trade, are fixing

To show you now, precisely how,

Or approximately,

Jazz music is made.

Well, you take some skins,

Jazz begins,

Then you take a bass,

Man now we're

Getting some place,

Take a box,

One that rocks,

Take a blue horn

New Orleans born.

Ah,You take a stick,

With a lick,

Take a bone,

Ho, ho, hold the phone,

Take a spot,

Cool and hot,

Now you has jazz, jazz,

Jazz, jazz, jazz.

Le tout ensemble, [fr]

Ah, that's positively therapeutic,

Now you has jazz, jazz, jazz.

Messrs Hall and Young

I said Hall.

And Trummy Young.

Now you has Messrs

Kyle and Shaw. And Billy Kyle.

Arvold Shaw.

Now you has Mr. Barry Dees.

And now listen to, well, you know who.

Hey Pops, you wanna grab a little of what’s left here?

Yeah, Daddy, yeah.

Here we go.

If you sail

Ah sailing, sailing

Over the sea

Ah will you wait for me?

Take my tip, they're all

Molto hip in Italy

Well, Arrevederci.

As for France

Oh, I know you're very big there

Yes, believe it or not

I do believe, I do indeed

Frenchmen all prefer what

They call ‘Le Jazz Hot’ [fr.]

Follow me now

Take a plane,

Go to Siam, in Bangkok

Today, round the clock,

Ah well they all like to jam

Indians on the Amazon,

Beat one bar and

All of them are.

Ah Well, gone, man, gone.

From the Equator

Up to the Pole,

Everybody winging,

Everybody singing

That rock, rock, rock

Rock, rock and roll,

From the East to the West,

From the coast to the coast,

Jazz is king cause jazz is

The thing the folks, dig most.

That's jazz.
