Zoot Walks In - David Frishberg

Jazz is a saxophone sound
Not every player′s got his own sound
But when Zoot walks in you'll know it′s totally him you're hearing

Got a tone of his own -- a happy kind of sadness
With just a touch of tenor madness
And when Zoot walks in every gentleman in the joint starts cheering

Zoot walks in, and he unpacks his horn
And when he begins that swingin' rhythm, you′ll be swingin′ with him
Up until early morn


You better telephone home, and tell 'em not to wait up
Then order a double Dewar′s straight up
Tell 'em Zoot walked in, and the band′s about to begin to swing now

Zoot walks in, and he unpacks his horn
And when he begins that swingin' rhythm, you′ll be swingin' with him
Up until early morn
You better telephone home, and tell 'em not to wait up
Then order a double Dewar′s straight up
Tell ′em Zoot walked in, and the band's about to begin to swing now

Tell ′em Zoot walked in – tell 'em Zoot walked in
Tell ′em Zoot walked in and the band's about to begin to swing now
