They took a reet jungle beat, brought it to Basin Street
That's how Jazz was born
And then someone played a whale all up and down the scale
And that's how Jazz was born
They simply played what they liked as long as it would fit
If it just had a beat, that was it
And when a horn gave a scream, they took it as a theme
And that's how Jazz was born
