What Is This Thing Called Swing ? - Louis Armstrong (路易斯·阿姆斯特郎)[00:00:00]
Written by:L. Armstrong Gerlach[00:00:07]
Now fifteen cats were swinging like you never heard before[00:00:15]
Each one took a solo and the people cried for more[00:00:18]
All at once the leader stopped and hollered to the band[00:00:22]
Boys I like your playing but I just don't understand[00:00:25]
What is this thing called swing[00:00:29]
What is this thing called swing[00:00:33]
Is it jazz or dragtime[00:00:36]
Futuristic ragtime[00:00:38]
What is this thing called swing[00:00:40]
Now if swing's the thing you talk about[00:00:44]
I might have the boys to beat it out[00:00:47]
First of all our saxophones[00:00:51]
Gonna rattle off some mellow tones[00:00:54]
Yes sir get together boys[00:00:57]
Thank you[00:01:16]
Now folks don't get too hot[00:01:17]
'Cause that rhythm section's coming up[00:01:20]
And they're really on the spot[00:01:22]
You're lonly scat[00:01:24]
Yes Sir[00:01:26]
Thank you[00:01:42]
Now when gabriel starts his jamboree[00:01:45]
He's got to blow six brass for me[00:01:48]
Get your chops together boys[00:01:51]
I'm coming over there after ya yes Sir[00:01:53]
Take your hot rock beat it out[00:02:05]
Show them where our swing's about[00:02:07]
How d'ya like that little cats telling me to beat it out[00:02:08]
Well you just let me get this organ to my wait wait[00:02:11]
Wait wait wait wait[00:02:13]
