[Answered] Get It Southern Style, Barney Bigard
I'm trying to figure out this one line from Duke Ellington's recording of "Get It Southern Style," first verse:
If you like songs crooned in a lazy way
Want all your swing with that rhythmic sway
?????????????????????????
Get it southern style
Any thoughts? I think I hear the word "bones" in there somewhere...
Here's a link to the song on Amazon, I couldn't find a video: http://www.amazon.com/Get-It-Southern-S ... B00522BQRM

I listened to this a bunch recently, and transcribed all the lyrics. So, if anyone else wants them, here they are. (The alternate take has some "and"s and "oh"s in different places, but is essentially the same.)
(Note that "darkies" is considered extremely offensive in present day U.S.A.)
Get It Southern Style
(as sung by Sue Mitchell with Barney Bigard and His Jazzopators)
If you like songs crooned in a lazy way,
want all your swing with that rhythmic sway,
and Mr Sun to warm your bones all day,
get it southern style.
If you like cornbread that no one can beat,
chicken pie that tastes like a candied sweet,
and you lick your chops every time you eat,
get it southern style.
If you like pale moon shining on the fields below,
see bales of cotton piled row on row,
if darkies on the delta make your heart a-melta,
shout "oh mississippi, hold me closer!"
Where every girl's a pretty melody,
every sky scraper's just a tree,
and serves the best of hospitality,
get it southern style.
Get it southern style.
