[Verse]
What's that strain? A music so appealing
What's that strain? Sets my brain a-reeling
Feel like I will go insane
Music growing on my brain
What's that strain? How it seems to haunt me
What's that strain? How it seems to taunt me
Shoulders shake like they were wings
When anybody sings
[Chorus]
Ja ja da, keep your shoulders swaying
Ja ja da, mister, keep on playing
Something in that minor strain
Simply seems to set my heart and brain aflame
Ja ja da, such a funny feeling
Ja ja da, always comes a-stealing
Razz it, jazz it as you choose
Play my ja da blues
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
I said ja ja ja ja da, keep your shoulders flapping
Ja ja ja ja da, said mister, keep on playin'
Play me something in that loving, minor strain
Simply seems to set my heart and brain aflame
Ja ja ja ja da, such a funny feeling
Ja ja ja ja da, always comes a-stealin'
Said razz it, oh boys, jazz it any way you choose
Just play my ja da, ja da ja da blues
Ja Da Blues was written by .
