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.



Louis was a legend in New Orleans

and the Louisiana Dixieland scene

Louis was one swinging happy guru

If you wanna hear the greatest trumpet

in the world well sing along with me

now join me in the opening

and join me in the bow

singing in the sunset

singing at the dawn
