[00:00.374]Once a mocking bird
[00:01.594]Dig he was overheard
[00:02.794]Singing out a word
[00:04.127]I to a cattle heard
[00:05.408]All you bovine creatures
[00:07.822]Dig what I'm layin'down
[00:09.558]All you sinners drop everything everything
[00:12.232]Let the melody and the harmony ring let it ring
[00:14.745]Lift arms up to heaven
[00:16.114]And sing ring a ding
[00:17.487]Sing you sinners won't you
[00:18.377]Away and swing what a thing
[00:20.92]Start with clappin'your hands
[00:21.367]All about all about
[00:22.599]Don't be silent let the Lord hear
[00:24.316]You shout shout it out
[00:25.396]And just let the music come out of your snout
[00:27.954]Sing you sinners won't you sway and swing
[00:29.789]Check it out
[00:30.451]Dig the drift of what I mean in a world
[00:32.392]Where there's no music
[00:33.771]Old scratch Satan get's his kick's
[00:35.685]He's up to his tricks
[00:37.133]He'll be laughing up and down the banks
[00:39.581]Of that river Styx
[00:41.43]You're so wicked baby and
[00:42.254]You're depraved you can rave
[00:43.612]It's apparent that you have misbehaved to your grave
[00:46.202]But if you should wanna be saved just behave
[00:48.836]Take a listen now to the bird
[00:51.101]Stop all that chewin'your curd
[00:54.165]And all that standin'in the mud there
[00:56.615]Swing people
[00:59.215]Swing every chortle from your mortal portal
[01:01.893]I know that everyone believes that
[01:04.917]Cattle prodigies are like a sneeze
[01:07.710]Hard blowin'missin one
[01:10.312]Lick of blowin'talent to show
[01:11.927]If you sing you gotta swing
[01:13.785]But remember that the day will come when you
[01:16.251]Will be just steak on a plate
[01:17.729]Folks you know it's fate
[01:18.963]So dig the music of the swing of sphere
[01:21.267]Before your swing arrives too late
[01:23.77]That's a little too dark
[01:24.272]Still it is true we've got breath for such a limited time
[01:28.589]What are ya stupid ya cows
[01:30.425]You'd think to sing was a crime
[01:32.714]In defense now hence now here comes Adele Mccluck
[01:37.302]Mrs.Mocking bird I must say you haven't heard
[01:40.547]Of the friendly
[01:41.644]Bellowing swing of our friends the cows
[01:44.220]As they shed their way from Tea garden to Fuller
[01:47.798]Instead of spendin'every day just sneakin'around
[01:50.407]To live another lick
[01:52.923]These cats work on their cow tone
[01:54.808]So when they get up to blow
[01:56.249]They blow a fatter bone tone into the ozone
[01:58.655]And furthermore you tweety birds are always singin'away
[02:01.524]Never givin'up a thought of what you say
[02:04.813]We cows do shedding takes up most of our day
[02:08.673]So when we start settlin'to play we could say
[02:12.811]A moo is an array
[02:14.360]Of what we've always known to be
[02:16.41]The best and only way to play
[02:18.572]What we mean to say is
[02:20.95]Before the band will let ya sing sing with
[02:21.582]Fletcher Henderson
[02:22.375]You've got to get your self to swing like the
[02:24.131]Bean or Satch
[02:25.43]So your horn can blow a single note
[02:27.335]Or two of deeper thinking
[02:28.985]That's the way to swing
[02:30.408]So set your mind upon a tone
[02:31.718]When you're shedding all alone
[02:32.841]And you will have a cornerstone
[02:34.13]Like the bass trombone
[02:35.516]Blow your horn and take a bow so
[02:37.792]That you're swinging like the cows
[02:38.693]Pythagoras would be so proud of us
