Follow me everybody, let's head down south to the land with the man with the message
His name was Satch and he played on the match
Everytime he played the horn another blues was born
Everybody's saying that the way he was playing had the whole world praying that he never gonna stop
He talks to Scatman all about scat
He's the father of it all, as a matter of fact
Louis was a legend in New Orleans and the Louisiana Dixieland scene
He made a decision that the old time religon to be played out the horn and the blues was born
Satchmo's breathin' deep in my soul
Let me sing it to you
Hallelujah

Take a lesson that I learnt from Louis
He only give it to us 'cause he knew it would renew us
Love is the answer, scat's where it's at
Louis said that you could even teach your cat scat
Hear me talking, I be talking to you
Louis was one swinging happy guru
You wanna hear the greatest trumpet in the world?
Well...
Sing along with me, sing along now
Join me in the opening and join me in the bow
Singing in the sunset, singing at the dawn
You've gotta get it up if you want to get it on
Satchmo's breathing deep in my soul
Let me sing it to you
Hallelujah
Hey, hey, whaddaya say?
Get out the way, let Louis play
