Jump For Joy

Duke Ellington / Paul Francis Webster / Sid Kuller

Fare thee well land of cotton.
Cotton lisle is out of style,
Honey chile
Jump for Joy
DOn't you grieve little Eve
All the hounds I do believe
have been killed
Ain't 'cha thrilled?
Jump for Joy
Have you seen pastures groovy?
Green pastures was just a technicolor movie
When you stomp up to heaven and you meet old Saint Pete
Tell that boy
"Jump for joy"
Step right in
give Pete some skin and
Jump for Joy
