So let's get going and form a band
Then we go touring all over the land
Gotta have someone on the big old bass
Making the rhythm smiling in your face
Maybe a man on the slide trombone
You can hear him holler when he's all alone
Someone bouncing on the black and white keys
Start me trembling at the knees
Well if you don't like the jazz
You gotta dig the rock and roll
Cos it all started with the boogie woogie
Blues and the soul
Gotta have someone blowing on a Flugelhorn
Keep the party going till the break of dawn
Limbs keeping time on snare and hi-hat
Lord almighty I want some of that
Well if you don't like the jazz
You gotta dig the rock and roll
Cos it all started with the boogie woogie
Blues and the soul
One adding voice with the tenor sax
All come together on the right track
An alto sax can add to the groove
See the folks dancing really on the move
You can have a fiddle or a violin
That will give the rhythm an extra swing
Don't forget to add a little clarinet
Now we getting close to completing the set
Well if you don't like the jazz
You gotta dig the rock and roll
Cos it all started with the boogie woogie
Blues and the soul
Play that piano Jim
Ah, now you got it
Come on join in
Yo TC that sound alright to me
Add latino skills on some timpani
Gives a big thrill I'm in ecstasy
Lyrical tunes off the steel pans
Now everybody's clapping their hands
Well if you don't like the jazz
You gotta dig the rock and roll
Cos it all started with the boogie woogie
Blues and the soul
Well if you don't like the jazz
You gotta dig the rock and roll
Cos it all started with the boogie woogie
Blues and the soul
Come on Dig
Aw Dig
