                                                   The Razzmatazz


                                              Some say that it's La Paz


                                           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!



                                                                                                        Story 33
                              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









                                                                                                                -19-
