Lyrics
Where Does Jazz Come From?
Ch. Where does jazz come from?
It’s been around a while;
Rhythm, harmonies and scat
Unique in its own style.
Repeat Chorus
1. Dixieland or New Orleans?
Firstly Chicago.
Dixieland or New Orleans?
It’s time for us to go…
2. It’s all about the syncopation.
Rhythms falling off the beat.
Or making up a load of nonsense.
Zubadee bup-bup-bee…
Scat freestyle…
3. Scoobedy bap-bap,
Shooby-dooby-dam
Firstly Chicago,
Dixlieland or New Orleans
It’s time for us to go…
4. Shoop Bap Scoobedy Wap (Shoop Bap Scoobedy Wap)
Zip, Zap-Zap-ZappaDooby-Doo (Zip, Zap-Zap-ZappaDooby-Doo)
Jabadaba-du-baap,
Jabadaba-du-baap
Jabadaba-doo-ip-ba-ba
Jabadaba-doo-ip-ba-ba
Whoo!
Ch. Where does jazz come from?
It’s been around a while;
Rhythm, harmonies and scat
Unique in its own style.
