Lyrics
One night, while playing in the band
A girl came up; she said, “You’re grand”
So I replied in words lowdown
“Now, this is how the music goes ’round
Chorus
I blow through here
The music goes ’round and around
Whoa-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho and it comes up here
I push the first valve down
The music goes down and around
Whoa-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho and it comes up here
I push the middle valve down
The music goes down around below, below, below
Dee-dle-dee ho-ho-ho
Listen to the ja-azz come out
I push the other valve down
The music goes ’round and around
Whoa-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho and it comes up here
