Zaz Zuh Zaz

(The Zaz-Zuh-Zaz chorus has been simplified here from Cab's scatted version.)
Now, here's a very entrancing phrase
It will put you in a daze
To me it don't mean a thing
But it's got a very peculiar swing!
Zaz-zuh-zaz-zuh-zaz
Zaz-zuh-zaz-zuh-zay
Zaz-zuh-zaz-zuh-zaz
Zaz-zuh-zaz-zuh-zay!

Now, zaz-zuh-zaz was handed down
From a bloke down in Chinatown;
It seems his name was Smoky Joe
And he used to hi-de-hi-de-ho
Zaz-zuh-zaz-zuh-zaz
Zaz-zuh-zaz-zuh-zay
Zaz-zuh-zaz-zuh-zaz
Zaz-zuh-zaz-zuh-zay!

When Smoky Joe came into town
And he kicked the gong around
Any place that he would go
Minnie the Moocher she was sure to go
With her zaz-zuh-zaz
Zaz-zuh-zaz-zuh-zay
Zaz-zuh-zaz-zuh-zaz
Zaz-zuh-zaz-zuh-zay!

It makes no difference where you go
There's one thing that they sure do know:
There's no need for them to be blue
For the zaz-suh-zaz will always see them through!
Zaz-zuh-zaz-zuh-zaz
Zaz-zuh-zaz-zuh-zay
Zaz-zuh-zaz-zuh-zaz
Zaz-zuh-zaz-zuh-zay!
