Lyrics:
Verse

Once in a music hall
I hear the jazz band,
And right away I fall
For jazzy jazz band.
When they begin to play
Their bingo bango,
Then right away I say,
"To hell with tango."
Now when lover want to show
How much love he have for me,
He must play the vo-de-o
'Neath the balcony!  For

Refrain

There is something peculiar
About the jazz time of America-
Ola!  Ola!  la, la!
This funny jazz musique
It make me cry,
"Come on and kiss me queek,
Or else I die!"
It make me act so indiscreet,
>From my head down to my feet;
In the sky I kick a hole;
Of my heart I lose control,
Oh, there is something peculiar
About the jazz time of America-
Ola! la! la!

Trio

Las chiquitas estan borrachas
Con la musica de los Yankees;
Senoritas, pepitas, muchachas
Todititas estan feliz!
