Let’s all head to Satchmo’s (the one and only Louis Armstrong, not that brat of a sister I have) place* of birth today!
*Although if y’all want to come visit, I would be very happy to have you
Down in New Orleans where the Blues (and Jazz) was born
It takes a cool cat, to blow a horn
Yes, dear Satchmo, you are the coolest, heppest cat that ever lived

Down in New Orleans
Where the blues was born
It takes a cool cat
To blow a horn.
On LaSalle
and Rampart Street
The combo’s there with a mambo beat.
The song is called Mardi Gras Mambo, and it goes like this:
Now, listen to the song again, but sing this words instead
All That JazzCat!
