Rhyme Scheme: AAB CDE AFGAHIA AJAB| Drum on your drums batter on your banjoes | A |
| sob on the long cool winding saxophones | A |
| Go to it O jazzmen | B |

| Sling your knuckles on the bottoms of the happy | C |
| tin pans let your trombones ooze and go husha | D |

| Moan like an autumn wind high in the lonesome treetops | A |
| moan soft like you wanted somebody terrible cry like a | F |
| racing car slipping away from a motorcycle cop bang bang | G |

| tin cans make two people fight on the top of a stairway | H |
| and scratch each other's eyes in a clinch tumbling down | I |
| the stairs | A |

| Can the rough stuff now a Mississippi steamboat pushes | A |
| up the night river with a hoo hoo hoo oo and the green | J |
| lanterns calling to the high soft stars a red moon rides | A |
| on the humps of the low river hills go to it O jazzmen | B |
