Oh, Joe, Play That Trombone

I’ve got the sweetest man

Who plays the trombone in a band;

Lordy, lordy, lordy he’s the nicest man what am

I get so giddy when he starts to play

Feel like I could just throw myself away

When he makes that trombone go wow, wow, wow

I feel myself a-slippin'

And I holler out:

Oh, Joe!

Play that trombone, Joe!

Play that trombone

It makes me crazy when you throw it up high

And when you bring it down it really starts to sigh

You know

It makes me happy, Joe

Now make it snappy

'Cause when you start to jazz I get a feeling from the start

It gives me such an itching and a twitching

Round my heart

I never knew I loved you till you made it moan

Now, Joe!

Joe!

Play the trombone!

Oh, Joe

Play that trombone, Joe!

Play that trombone

It makes me crazy when you throw it up high

And when you bring it down it really starts to sigh

You know

It makes me happy, Joe

So make it snappy

'Cause when you start to jazz

I get a feeling from the start

It gives me such an itching and a twitching

Round my heart

I never knew I loved you till you made it moan

Now, Joe, Joe, Joe!

Play the trombone!
