Carol Channing - Jazz Baby lyrics

My daddy was a rag-time trombone player My mommy was a rag-time cabaret-er They met one day at a tango tea There was a syncopated wedding And then came me Folks think the way I walk is a fad But it's a birthday present from my mommy and dad-dy I'm a jazz baby, little jazz baby, that's me There's something in the tone of a saxophone That makes me do a little wiggle all my own 'Cause I'm a jazz baby Full of jazz-bo harmony That "Walk The Dog" and "Ball The Jack" that caused all the talk Is just a copy of the way I naturally walk 'Cause I'm a jazz baby, little jazz baby that's me Rock to sleep while the cradle went to and fro To and fro to the tune of the tickle-toe Ever since I started into grow Love to hear the music playing, see my dear old mammy swayin' Razz-ma-tazz, that's all I ever knew All day long I never would get through Jazz-ma-tazz, that's all I want to do So play me a little jazz Jazz baby, full of jazz-bo harmony The wailin' of the saxes when those fellas go mad Cannot compare with what I got from mommy and dad So hear this jazz baby Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah Little jazz Baby, that's me
