Jazzonia

Oh, silver tree!

Oh, shining rivers of the soul!


In a Harlem cabaret

Six long-headed jazzers play.

A dancing girl whose eyes are bold

Oh, singing tree!

In the first garden

Just a bit too bold?

Was Cleopatra gorgeous

In a gown of gold?


Oh, shining tree!

Oh, silver rivers of the soul!


In a whirling cabaret

Six long-headed jazzers play.
