I'm a jazz vampire

Say, did you ever hear the saxophone
Let out an awful moan,
Let out an awful groan?
It makes you feel so nervous, yet it's great.
It's the saxophone a-callin' to his mate
that sweet coquette, the clarinet.
Now listen for a minute and the birth of jazz you'll hear,
And where there is a little jazz, you'll always find me near,
For I'm a jazz vampire.
Shake a foot, shake a foot, shake a foot with me and dance, dance.
Dancing is my specialty.
Wise men keep out o' my way.
They know I'll lead 'em astray.
They fall the minute I sway,
I insist you can't resist a
Jazz vampire.
Take a tip, take a tip, take a tip from me,
For I am all the evil music has.
Went down to the river, stood on the bank,
Shook my shoulders and the boats all sank,
For I'm the meanest kind of jazz vampire.
I'm the wicked vampire of the jazz.

Get up in the morning and I make the coffee whole,
Ham and eggs turn over, put the crullers in a hole
Get upon a trolley car, the car begins to sway,
Sit upon a half a dozen laps to start the day
I walk into the office and I greet the starter there
Six or seven elevators go up in the air
Sit down at my Remington and syncopate the keys.
The fellow by the water stand gets water on the knees.
The boss dictates a letter: "Dear sir, I'd like to state—".
The man who gets the letter has to stop and hesitate.
And when the day is over and the sun sets in the west,
Say I'm the only little bird who doesn't go to rest,
For I'm a jazz vampire.
Take a tip, take a tip, take a tip from me
For I am all the evil music has.
I stood by the ocean, no one around,
Shook my shoulders and the sun went down.
For I'm the meanest kind of jazz vampire.
I'm the wicked vampire of the jazz.
