(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!
