verse
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
Everybodys saying that the way he was playing
Had the whole world praying that he never gonna stop
He talks to Scatman all about scat
He's the father of it all as a matter of fact
verse
Louis was a legend in New Orleans
And the Louisiana Dixieland scene
He made a decision that the old time religon to be played out the horn and the blues was born
Satchmo's breathin' deep in my soul
(Scatting by Scatman John)
verse
Louis said even you could teach a cat scat
Shouldn' t be talking about it talking to you
Louis was one swingin' happy guru
If you wanna hear the greatest trumpet in the world, well...
verse
Sing along with me, sing along now
Join me in the opening and join me in the bow
You've gotta get it up if you want to get it on
Satchmo's breathin' deep in my soul
Get out the way, let Louis play
chorus
Everybody party down to Louisiana
Everybody jam (Hey, hey, whaddaya say?)
Everybody come and take a ride with me
Get out the way, let Louis play
