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

I'll begin the story[00:00:05]

Out in West Virginia[00:00:07]

Is a little college[00:00:08]

All the student body[00:00:11]

Only cared for football[00:00:12]

Never mind the knowledge[00:00:13]

Never mind the sheepskin[00:00:16]

They preferred the pigskin[00:00:17]

Seemed to have it in their bones[00:00:18]

They knew all about it[00:00:21]

Couldn't do without it[00:00:22]

All except a certain Mr Jamboree Jones[00:00:24]

And he played the clarinet with all his might[00:00:27]

He studied night and day he practiced day and night[00:00:30]

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]

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

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

What's become of Sally[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[00:01:03]

Oh but he liked his rhythm[00:01:05]

More than being with 'em[00:01:07]

So he'd only turn in[00:01:08]

For to practice some more[00:01:09]

And meanwhile the team marched on to greater fame[00:01:11]

Till they were asked to play that famous Rose Bowl game[00:01:15]

And on that day of days the students beamed[00:01:21]

What did they do when the team marched on the scene[00:01:25]

They screamed[00:01:30]

Startin' from the kick-off [00:01:55]

They pulled every trick off[00:01:56]

But they couldn't win it[00:01:58]

Instead of goin' forwards[00:02:00]

They were goin' backwards[00:02:02]

'Bout a mile a minute[00:02:03]

Seein' their position[00:02:06]

They called intermission[00:02:07]

And they heard the referee say[00:02:08]

Hey seventeen to nothin'[00:02:10]

Ain't exactly nothin'[00:02:12]

And you've only got about a minute to play[00:02:13]

And then from the stand there came a distant wail[00:02:16]

And it was Jamboree a-swingin' "Hold 'em Yale"[00:02:20]

And then the students all began to yell[00:02:27]

The players marched up the field[00:02:31]

And down the field pell mell[00:02:33]

Now on a certain West Virginia hill[00:02:42]

There stands that college still[00:02:46]

Just as it always will[00:02:49]

And there's a picture in the hall of fame[00:02:52]

You'll find the boy in the frame who won the game[00:02:56]

Jamboree Jones was the gentleman's name[00:03:00]

Jamboree Jones was the gentleman's name[00:03:02]
