Jamboree Jones - Johnny Mercer/The Pied Pipers[00:00:00]

Written by：Johnny Mercer[00:00:01]

I'll begin the story[00:00:07]

Out in west virginia[00:00:09]

Is a little college[00:00:10]

Rah rah rah[00:00:11]

All the student body[00:00:12]

Only cared for football[00:00:13]

Never mind the knowledge[00:00:15]

Rah rah rah[00:00:16]

Never mind the sheepskin[00:00:17]

They preferred the pigskin[00:00:19]

Seemed to have it in their bones[00:00:20]

Yeah they knew all about it[00:00:22]

Couldn't do without it[00:00:24]

All except a certain Mr jamboree jones[00:00:25]

And he played the clarinet with all his might[00:00:28]

He studied night and day he practiced day and night[00:00:31]

No runnin' up the field for Mr jones[00:00:37]

He'd rather run up the scale and down the scale[00:00:41]

What tones[00:00:46]

Even though his buddies[00:00:50]

Always cut their studies[00:00:51]

To attend the rallies[00:00:52]

Rah rah rah[00:00:53]

While they all were rootin'[00:00:55]

You could hear him tootin'[00:00:56]

What's become of sally[00:00:57]

Rah rah rah[00:00:58]

How they used to hate him[00:01:00]

Co eds wouldn't date him[00:01:01]

Thought he was an awful bore[00:01:02]

Oh but he liked his rhythm[00:01:04]

More than being with 'em[00:01:06]

So he'd only turn in[00:01:07]

For to practice some more[00:01:08]

And meanwhile the team marched on to greater fame[00:01:10]

Till they were asked to play that famous rose bowl game[00:01:13]

And on that day of days the students beamed[00:01:19]

What did they do when the team marched on the scene[00:01:23]

They screamed[00:01:28]

Rah rah rah rah[00:01:29]

Biff boom bah bah bah dee addle oh[00:01:31]

Yea ho watch 'em go[00:01:34]

Startin' from the kick off[00:01:52]

They pulled every trick off[00:01:53]

But they couldn't win it[00:01:54]

No no no[00:01:55]

Instead of goin' forwards[00:01:57]

They were goin' backwards[00:01:58]

'Bout a mile a minute[00:01:59]

Yeah yeah yeah[00:02:00]

Seein' their position[00:02:02]

They called intermission[00:02:02]

And they heard the referee say[00:02:04]

Hey seventeen to nothin'[00:02:06]

Ain't exactly nothin'[00:02:08]

And you've only got about a minute to play[00:02:09]

And then from the stand there came a distant wail[00:02:12]

And it was jamboree a swingin' hold 'em yale[00:02:16]

And then the students all began to yell[00:02:22]

The players marched up the field[00:02:26]

And down the field pell mell[00:02:28]

Now on a certain west virginia hill[00:02:37]

There stands that college still[00:02:40]

Just as it always will[00:02:43]

And there's a picture in the hall of fame[00:02:47]

You'll find the boy in the frame who won the game[00:02:50]

Jamboree jones was the gentleman's name[00:02:54]

Jamboree jones was the gentleman's name[00:02:56]
