She started lately a new affair And now the silly chick is gonna marry a square [Chorus] In high so High soci High society [Verse 4] But, Brother Dexter, just trust your Satch To stop that wedding and k** that match I'll toot my trumpet to start the fun And play in such a way that she'll come back to you, son [Chorus] In high, high so High soci High society [Outro] In high society Can you dig old Satchmo swinging in the beautiful high society
