You’ve heard all about your raggy melodies,

Ev’rything from op’ra down to harmony.

But I’ve a little song that I will sing to you,

It’s gonna win you through and through.

There ain’t much to the words but the music is grand,

And you’ll be singin’ it to beat the band.

Maybe you’ve heard of the hula or fling,

but here’s my fav’rite ditty to sing.

That’s funny little bit of melody.

It’s so soothing and appealing to me,

Now ev’ryone was singin’ and swayin’ in time,

dancin’ to the music and makin’ up rhyme.

The band would play the Charleston and the Buck and Wing;

We told’ em we would rather sing.

They played a cakewalk and the bunny hug,

the chacha, the rhumba, the jitterbug.

But we still wanted them to learn our song;

we told ’em just to follow along.

It goes Ja-Da,Jing.

 

你已經聽過關於你粗嘎的旋律，

從歌劇到和聲的一切。

但是我會唱一首小歌，我會唱給你聽，

它會一直贏得你心。

沒有太多的歌詞，但音樂很盛大，

你會唱來擊敗樂隊。

也許你聽說過草裙舞或者甩尾，

但這是我最喜歡唱歌的小曲子。

那是有趣的旋律。

這對我很有吸引力，

現在每個人都在唱歌和搖擺，

隨著音樂起舞和押韻。

樂隊將演奏查爾斯頓舞、巴克舞和翅膀舞；

我們告訴他們我們寧願唱歌。

他們演奏一個蛋糕步和美國交際舞，

恰恰舞，倫巴舞，吉特巴舞。

但我們還是希望他們能學我們的歌；

我們告訴他們要跟進。

歌是這樣渣答，金。
