Zoot Walks In

Jazz is a saxophone sound

Not every player's got his own sound

But when Zoot walks in

You will know it's totally him you're hearing

Got a tone all his own

A happy kind of sadness

With just a touch of tenor madness

And when Zoot walks in

Every tenor man in the joint starts cheering

Zoot walks in

And he unpacks his horn

And when he begins to swing and greet them

You'll be swinging with him up until early morn

You better telephone home and tell 'em not to wait up

Then order double dew or straight up

Tell 'em Zoot walks in and

The band's about to begin to swing now

Zoot walks in

And he unpacks his horn

And when he begins to swing and greet them

You'll be swinging with him up until early morn

You better telephone home and tell 'em not to wait up

Then order double dew or straight up

Tell 'em Zoot walked in

Zoot walked in

Tell 'em Zoot walked in

And the band's about to begin to swing now
