The Red Well-Read Reader
The Razzmatazz Story 32
Some say that it's La Paz Story 33
But it's New Orleans that has
A band known as
The Razzmatazz
Named for playing
Razzle, dazzle jazz
And that be some kind of Jazz, man!
On the Quay
Down by the bay at the break of day
Go Jay 'n' Kay, so happy and gay.
To watch the golden ray color the dawn's gray,
Exposing ships coming home and going away
Soon sailboats are on display
Merrily they bob and sway
Next swallows leave their cliffs of clay,
Singing on their airy way, so as if to say :
That life is but an endless day
How cheerfully we ought to play
How thankfully we ought to pray
