Song lyrics

Now ladies and gentlemen, we have a little novelty
Here for you here this evening
We'll have a little argument between the saxophone and the trumpet
'Cause these cats just told me they're going to get away!
And, uh, the little trumpet just said it's going to do the same
Ain't that right little trumpet? Say 'Yes, sir!'
[*laughing*] Oh, that little devil
But before we, uh, riff we're going to chirp a few for you this time
So get your chops together boys
While we mug lightly, slightly and politely

Chinatown, my Chinatown
Where the lights are low
Oh, my Chinatown
[scat]
Oh, you raffer, you!
[scat]
Look out there saxopone
What's the matter with you? Let's go!

Look at them cats getting away
Looks like they're after me, look at that you all
But I'm ready, I'm ready, so help me
I'm ready, look out here
