Oh, Joe, Play That Trombone
I′ve got the sweetest man
Who plays the trombone in a band;
Lordy, lordy, lordy he's the nicest man what am.
I get so giddy when he starts to play,
Feel like I could just throw myself away.
When he makes that trombone go wow, wow, wow,
I feel myself a-slippin′,
And I holler out:


Oh, Joe!
Play that trombone, Joe!
Play that trombone,
It makes me crazy when you throw it up high,
And when you bring it down it really starts to sigh.
You know,
It makes me happy, Joe,
Now make it snappy.
'Cause when you start to jazz I get a feeling from the start,
It gives me such an itching and a twitching
Round my heart.
I never knew I loved you till you made it moan,
Now, Joe! Joe! Play the trombone!

Oh, Joe,
Play that trombone, Joe!
Play that trombone,
It makes me crazy when you throw it up high,
And when you bring it down it really starts to sigh.
You know,
It makes me happy, Joe,
So make it snappy.
'Cause when you start to jazz
I get a feeling from the start,
It gives me such an itching and a twitching
Round my heart.
I never knew I loved you till you made it moan,
Now, Joe, Joe, Joe!
Play the trombone!
