Louis Armstrong - The Essential Louis Armstrong [compilation] (2004) by Louis Armstrong (보컬) on maniadb.com

Say, I've got the heebies,
I mean the jeebies,
Talking about
The dance, the heebie jeebies,
Do, because they're boys,
Because it pleases me to be joy!

Say, don't you know it?
You don't know how, don't be blue,
Someone will teach you;
Come on, and do that dance,
They call the heebie jeebies dance,
Yes, ma'am,
Papa's got the heebie jeebies dance!

Skatting...

Say, come on, now, and do that dance,
They call the heebie jeebies dance,
Sweet mama!
Papa's got to do the heebie jeebies dance!

Spoken:

Wooh! Got the heebie jeebies!
Whatcha doin' with the heebies?
I just have to have the heebies!

Yonder comes Willie the weeper*
Saddest looking sight in all the town
Had a new love but couldn't keep her
Now Willie's crying heart is broken down.

You should have seen the smiling face that Willie wore
The day he found the thrill of her embrace
For the first time in his whole life Willie fell in love
But I took the smile right off of Willie's face took his place.

Yonder comes Willie the weeper
Saddest looking sight in all the town
Had a new love but couldn't keep her
Now Willie's crying heart is broken down.

I put on the smiling face that Willie wore
And took her round for everyone to see
But she found someone else that she wanted more
Now Willie's smiling face laughs back at me look and see.

I'm just like Willie the weeper
Saddest looking sight in all the town
Had a new love but couldn't keep her
Now mine and Willie's hearts are broken down...

Won’t you come and go with me
Down that mississippi
We’ll take a boat to the land of dreams
Come along with me on, down to new orleans

Now the band’s there to greet us
Old friends will meet us
Where all them folks goin to the st. louis cemetary meet
Heaven on earth.... they call it basin street

I’m tellin’ ya, basin street...... is the street
Where all them characters from the first street they meet
New orleans..... land of dreams
You’ll never miss them rice and beans
Way down south in new orleans

They’ll be huggin’.... and a kissin’
That’s what I been missin’
And all that music....lord, if you just listen’
New orleans....i got them basin street blues

(instrumental break)

Now ain’t you glad you went with me
On down that mississippi
We took a boat to the land of dreams
Heaven on earth...they call it basin street

It was down in Old Joe's barroom,
On the corner by the square,
Drinks were being served as usual,
And a goodly crowd was there.

When up steped old joe McGuinny
His eyes were bloodshot red;
As he poured himself more wiskey,
This is what he said:

I went down to the St. James Infirmary
I saw my baby there,
Streched out on a cold white table,
So sweet, so cold, so fair.

So Let her go, let her go, God bless her;
Wherever she may be **see note**
She may search this wide world over
but she'll never find a sweet man like me.

When I die, want you to dress me in straght laced shoes
A box back coat and a Stetson hat;
Put a twenty-dollar gold piece on my watch chain
So the boys know I died standin' pat.

**verses not in original recording**

There are sixteen cold black horses,
Hitched to her rubber tired hack;
There are seven women goin' to that graveyard,
and only six of 'em are coming back.

Now that you'v heard my story,
pour me one more shot of booz;
And if anyone comes askin' about me,
Tell 'em I got, Saint James Infermery blues.

Some people exchange "She never did love me" for the line "Where ever she may be" that was in the original.

Hey! We are following the footsteps of those who've gone before and we'll all be reunited on that new and sunlit shore.

Chorus:
Oh, when the saints go marching in, (Repeat) oh, Lord, I want to be in that number when the saints go marching in.

And when the sun refuse to shine, (Repeat) oh, Lord, I want to be in that number when the sun refuse to shine.

Oh, when the trumpet sound its call, (Repeat) oh, Lord, I want to be in that number when the trumpet sounds that call.

Oh, when the new world is revealed, (Repeat) oh, Lord, I want to be in that number when the new world is revealed.

(Chorus)

Mack the Knife
Oh the shark has pretty teeth dear
And he shows them pearly white
Just a jack-knife has Mac-heath dear
And he keeps it out of sight

When the shark bites with his teeth dear
Scarlet billows start to spread
Fancy gloves though wears Mac-heath dear
So there's not a trace of red
On the sidewalk Sunday morning
Lies a body oozing life
Someone's sneaking 'round the corner
Is the someone Mack the Knife
From a tugboat by the river
A cement bag's dropping down
The cement's just for the weight dear
Bet you Mackies's back in town
Louis Miller disappeared dear
After drawing out his cash
And Mac-heath spends like a sailo
Did our boy do something rash
Sukey Tawdry, Jenny Diver
Polly Peachum Lucy Brown
O the line forms on the right dear
Now that Mackie's back in town

MACK THE KNIFE

Oh the shark has pretty teeth dear, and he shows them pearly white. Just a
jack-knife has Mack Heath dear, and he keeps it out of sight.
When the shark bites with his teeth dear, scarlet billows start to spread.
Fancy gloves do, wears Mack Heath dear, so there's not trace of red.
On the sidewalk Sunday morning ... lies a body oozing life. Someone's sneaking
around the corner. Is that someone Mack the Knife?
Yes from a tugboat by the river..... a cement bag drooping down. And the
cement's, for the weight dear. You know that Mack Heath's back in town.
Yeah Louis Miller disappeared dear, after drawing out all his cash. And Mack
Heath spends like a sailor. Did our boy do something rash?
Suki Todre, Jenny Diver, Lotti Lenya, sweet Lucy Brown. Yes the line forms on
the right dear, now that Mack Heath's back in town.

I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I say to myself, what a wonderful world

I see skies of blue and clouds of white
Bright sunny days, dark sacred nights
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

The colors of the rainbow are so pretty in the skies
Are also on the faces of the people walking by
I see triends shaking hands saying How do you do?
They're really saying l love you

I see babies cry, l watch them grow
They'll learn much more than l'll ever know
And l think to myself, what a wonderful world
Yes, l think to myself, what a wonderful world
