Mr. Crosby,
oh, Mr. Crosby,
ask me, son,
all the orchestras are
B 
Em 
swinging it today.
I it's kind of Gates.
A 
And I wanted to find out
Em 
what the noise is all about.
A 
Em 
Do you really think
A 
D 
that swing is here to stay?
Well, now, I'm glad you asked.
Mr. Mercer.
Yeah?
Oh, Mr. Mercer.
I'm listening.
B 
Swing is really much too ancient to
Em 
condemn.
Why, you don't say.
G 
D 
In the jungles they would play
G 
in that same abandoned way.
D 
On the level, Mr. Crosby.
Ebdim

No,      on the downbeat,

Oh, Mr. Crosby.
Mm -hmm.
Now, Mr. Crosby.
G 
So happy to oblige.
D 
B 
Em 
I've been reading in the latest magazine
A 
That a jivey jitterbug blows
Em 
his top and cuts a rug
A 
Will you tell me what that
D 
language really means?
Oh, Mr. Mercer
Yes, yes
Mr. Mr. Mercer
Tell me, tell me, tell me
As a student of the slang,
B 
Em 
they use pro -tem
Pro -what?
G 
That just means a solid gate
E 
D 
Cuts a murderistic plate
Em 
D 
That's amazing, Mr. Crosby
A 
D 
Em 
A 
D 
That's elementary, Mr. M.
Em 
A 
D 
Oh, Mr. Crosby,
dear Dr. Crosby,
is it true that swing's an
B 
Em 
other name for jazz?
A 
And the first place it was played
Em 
was a New Orleans parade,
A 
D 
and the Southern Negro gave it all it had.
Oh, Mr. Mercer, Mr. Mercer,
Mr. Mercer, Mr. Mercer.
Em 
I believe that its foundation came
from them.
Are you positive?
G 
Em 
Yes, they just slowed the tempo down.
D 
G 
And then they really went to town.
D 
Al legretto, Mr. Crosby?
Em 
D 
Alligators, Mr. M.

A 
D 
Em 
A 
D 
Oh. Mr. Mercer. Yes?
Oh, Mr. Mercer.
Mm -hmm?
Well, I trust that I have
B 
made the matter clear
Em 
It's really too clear
A 
So when someone plays a thing
You're going to understand its swing
D 
And appreciate the rhythm that you hear
E 
D 
Oh, Mr. Crosby
Oh, hear me talking
No, Mr. Crosby
B 
Em 
I'm afraid that type of rhythm's not for me
G 
I prefer my music played
A 
D 
G 
A  la Schubert's serenade
D 
Sort of ritardo, Mr. Mercer
A 
D 
He's not a Lombardo, Mr. C
