Trombone Butter Lyrics - Dinah Washington

I know a fool that blows a horn, 

He came from way down south, 

I ain't heard such blowin' since I was born 

When that trombone's in his mouth! 

He wails and moans, 

He grunts and groans, 

he moans just like a cow! 

Nobody else can do his stuff, 

For he won't teach them how! 

Oh Cholly, blow that thing, 

That slide trombone; 

Make it talk, make it sing, 

Lawdy, where did you get that tone? 

If Gabriel knows how you could blow, 

He'll let you lead his band, I know! 

Oh Cholly, blow that thing, 

Play that slide trombone.

Oh Cholly, make it sing, 

That slide trombone, 

You'll even make a king 

Get down off his throne; 

And he would breaka leg, I know, 

A-doin' the charleston while you blow! 

Oh Cholly Green, play that thing, 

I mean that slide trombone!
