Jazzbo Brown from Memphis Town - 78rpm Version
Jazzbo Brown aus Memphis Town - 78rpm Version
Don't you start no crowin'
Fang kein Geschrei an
Lay your money down
Leg dein Geld hin
I've got mine on Jazzbo
Ich setz' meins auf Jazzbo
That mis'able clown, that hound
Diesen elenden Clown, diesen Hund
He ain't got no equal
Er hat seinesgleichen nicht
No way in this land
Nirgendwo in diesem Land
So let me tell you people
Also lass mich dir erzählen, Mann
'Bout this Memphis man
Von diesem Kerl aus Memphis
Jazzbo Brown from Memphis Town
Jazzbo Brown aus Memphis Town
He's a clown, that hound!
Er ist ein Clown, dieser Hund!
He can't dance, he can't sing
Er kann nicht tanzen, er kann nicht singen
But lawdy how he can play that thing!
Aber Herrgott, wie er dieses Ding spielen kann!
He ain't seen no music school
Er hat keine Musikschule gesehen
He can't read a note
Er kann keine Note lesen
But is the plainest fool
Aber er ist der reinste Narr
On that Memphis boat!
Auf diesem Memphis-Boot!
When he wraps his big fat lips
Wenn er seine dicken fetten Lippen legt
Round that doggone horn
Um dieses verdammte Horn
Helpin' out on sin and cheer
Und heizt die Sünde und die Freude an
Lord, carryin' on!
Herrgott, wie er aufdreht!
I could dance a mon' ago
Ich könnte sofort lostanzen
If that fool would only blow!
Wenn dieser Narr nur blasen würde!
Jazzbo Brown, that clown, that hound
Jazzbo Brown, dieser Clown, dieser Hund
From Memphis Town
Aus Memphis Town
Jazzbo Brown from Memphis Town
Jazzbo Brown aus Memphis Town
He's a clown, that hound!
Er ist ein Clown, dieser Hund!
When he blows and pats his feet
Wenn er bläst und mit den Füßen stampft
Makes a butcher leave his meat!
Bringt 'nen Metzger dazu, sein Fleisch liegenzulassen!
He don't play no classic stuff
Er spielt kein klassisches Zeug
Like them Hoffman Tales
Wie diese Hoffmanns Erzählungen
What he plays is good enough
Was er spielt, ist gut genug
For the Prince of Wales!
Für den Prinzen von Wales!
He can moan an' he can groan
Er kann stöhnen und er kann ächzen
I ain't foolin' you!
Ich mach' dir nichts vor!
There ain't nothin' on that horn
Es gibt nichts auf diesem Horn
That old Jazz cain't do!
Was dieser alte Jazz nicht kann!
That sure does mark your card
Darauf kannst du wetten
And I'll give you all the odds
Und ich geb' dir die besten Quoten
On Jazzbo Brown, that clown, that hound
Auf Jazzbo Brown, diesen Clown, diesen Hund
From Memphis Town
Aus Memphis Town
