spoken: No fooling, now.

Listen here people gonna play a little tune
It’s the jazz violin of a Mississippi coon
It’s too bad, it’s too
Listen to that old violin

You got the fiddle and take out your bow
This is a tune all the fiddlers ought to know
It’s too bad, it’s too bad

Boys this is something you never have seen
A man playing jazz on a violin
It’s too bad, it’s too
Listen to that old violin

A quick finger and a shaking bow
A stooping heel and a tickle toe
It’s too bad, it’s too bad

Boys this is something you never have seen
A man playing jazz on a violin
It’s too bad, it’s too
Listen to that old violin

A quick finger and a shaking bow
A stooping heel and a tickle toe
It’s too bad, it’s too bad

Boys this is something you never have seen
A man playing jazz on a violin
It’s too bad, it’s too
Listen to that old violin

A quick finger and a shaking bow
A stooping heel and a tickle toe
It’s too bad, it’s too bad

The suggestion for ’stooping’ comes from this thread at Weenie Campbell.
