You’ll start in dog-walk-in’

There’s jazz-co-pa-tion blues mod-u-la-tion,

Just like a Hait-ian you’ll rip and tear.

Here’s why I’m rav-in’,

If it’s blues you are crav-in’

Soon you’ll be say-in’,

“Hon jazz me ’round”
1 -1 -1* 2 3* 3* 3 -2
Be-cause your feet they can’t re-fuse.
4 -5 4 -3 -2 -1*
What’s that fa-mil-iar strain
4 -5 4 -3 -2 -1*
that true blue note re-frain
4 -5 4 -3 -2 -1*
It’s driv-in’ me in-sane;
3 -2 3
Can’t keep still,
1* -1 -2 3* 3 -2
Tho it’s a-gainst my will;
3 3* -3 6 -5 4 -1* 2 -3* -3 -2
I’m on my P’s and Q’s I just can’t re-fuse.
4 -5 4 -3 -2 -1*
There goes that mel-o-dy,

it sounds so good to me,
4 -5 4 -3 -2 -1*
And I am up a tree;
3 -2 3 1* -1-2 3* 3 -2
It’s a shame, you don’t know the name;
3 3* -3 6 -5 4
It’s a brand new blues,
-1 -1* 2 -3* -2 -2
The Roy-al Gar-den Blues.
Key: Bb
-2 -2 3 -3 -2 -2 3 -3
Ev-‘ry-bod-y grab some-bod-y
-2 -2 3 -3 -2
And start jazz-ing ’round
-3* -3* 4 4* -5 -3* -3* -3*
Hon don’t you hear that trom-bone moan?
-3* -3* 4 4* -5 -3* -3* -3*
Just lis-ten to that sax-o-phone.
-3* -3* 4 4* -5 -3* -3* -3*
Gee, hear that clar-i-net and flute,
-3* -3* 4 4* -5 3 3 3
Cor-net a jazz-in’ with a mute,
3 -3* 4 4* -5 -2 -2 -2
Makes me just throw my-self a-way,
-3* -3* -3* -3* -3*
When I hear ’em play.
-3* -3*4 4* -5 -3* -3* -3* -3*
That weep-in’ mel-an-cho-ly strain,
-3* -3* 4 4* -5 -3* -3* -3* -3*
Say, but it’s sooth-ing to the brain;
-3* -3* 4 4* -5 -3* -3* -3*
Just wan-na get right up and dance,
-3* -3* 4 4* -5 3 3 3
Don’t care I’ll take most an-y chance;
3 -3* 4 4* -5 -2 -2 -2
No oth-er blues I’d care to choose,
-3* -3*-3* -3* -3* -3*
But Roy-al Gar-den Blues.
