Hey Louis, yeah?
Is that you? Yes, yes
Oh, I'm Scatman John
Would you like to sing a song, man?
Well, sure could
Look out, 1, 2, 3, 4

Everybody party down to Louisiana
Everybody jam
(Yeh)
Everybody come and take a ride with me

Follow me everybody, let's head down south
To the land with the man with the message
His name was Satch and he played on the match
Every time he played the horn another blues was born

Everybody's saying that the way he was playing
Had the whole world praying that he never gonna stop
He talks to Scatman all about scat
He's the father of it all as a matter of fact

Louis was a legend in New Orleans
And the Louisiana Dixieland scene
He made a decision that the old time religion
To be played out the horn and the blues was born

Satchmo's breathin' deep in my soul
Let me sing it to you
Hallelujah
Hey, hey, whaddya say?

Everybody party down to Louisiana
Everybody jam
Everybody come and take a ride with me
Hey, hey, whaddya say?
Get out the way, let Louis play

Take a lesson that I learnt from Louis
He only give it to us cause he knew it would renew us
Love is the answer, scat's where it's at
Louis said even you could teach a cat scat

Shouldn' t be talking about it talking to you
Louis was one swingin' happy guru
If you wanna hear the greatest trumpet in the world, well

Sing along with me, sing along now
Join me in the opening and join me in the bow
Singin' in the sunset, singin' at the dawn
You've gotta get it up if you want to get it on

Satchmo's breathin' deep in my soul
Let me sing it to you
Hallelujah
Hey, hey, whaddya say?
Get out the way, let Louis play

Everybody party down to Louisiana
Everybody jam
(Everybody, yeah)
Everybody come and take a ride with me
(Yeah)
C'mon everybody

Wotcher think of that scat, Satch?
As we cats say, it gassed man
How about a little solo Louis? Yay
Now blow your horn, Louis

Everybody party down to Louisiana
Everybody jam
(Hey, hey, whaddaya say?)
Everybody come and take a ride with me

Everybody party down to Louisiana
Everybody jam
(Hey, hey, whaddaya say?)
Everybody come and take a ride with me
Hey, hey, whaddya say?
Get out the way, let Louis play
