Zoot Walks In - David Frishberg Jazz is a saxophone sound Not every player's got his own sound But when Zoot walks in you'll know it's totally him you're hearing Got a tone of his own -- a happy kind of sadness With just a touch of tenor madness And when Zoot walks in every gentleman in the joint starts cheering Zoot walks in, and he unpacks his horn And when he begins that swingin' rhythm, you'll be swingin' with him Up until early morn You better telephone home, and tell 'em not to wait up Then order a double Dewar's straight up Tell 'em Zoot walked in, and the band's about to begin to swing now Zoot walks in, and he unpacks his horn And when he begins that swingin' rhythm, you'll be swingin' with him Up until early morn You better telephone home, and tell 'em not to wait up Then order a double Dewar's straight up Tell 'em Zoot walked in, and the band's about to begin to swing now Tell 'em Zoot walked in – tell 'em Zoot walked in Tell 'em Zoot walked in and the band's about to begin to swing now
