Hellzapoppin’Louis Armstrong

Hold your hats the roof is 'bout to tumble in
Holy cats the walls and floors are crumblin'
Hellzapoppin' hellzapoppin' hellzapoppin'
The whole gang's whoopin' up the whoop-de-doo

Me oh my it's gonna be uproarious
We'll fly high tonight we'll be notorious
Hellzapoppin' hellzapoppin' hellzapoppin'
And you're invited to the party too

Better look out ain't no cook-out
We're playin' this one by ear
We through the book out

It's a bash the signs are unmistakable
What a smash we're breakin' all that's breakable
There's no stoppin' hellzapoppin' why not drop in
We won't stop until the night is through

We won't tire, we'll fly higher
We'll be hotter by far
Than a floor on fire

Raise your glass the party will be riotous
What a gas the cops will never quiet us
There's no stoppin' hellzapoppin' hellzapoppin'
We'll be hellzapoppin' till the night is through

Louis Armstrong

Louis Armstrong, known throughout his lengthy career by nicknames like “Satchmo”, “Pops” and simply “Louie”, was a trumpeter, composer, singer and occasional actor, as well as one of the most influential figures in the history of jazz.

Born and raised in New Orleans, where jazz itself is alleged to have began, Armstrong started his career in 1918, playing the cornet in brass bands and riverboats along the Mississippi River. There, he caught the attention of his future mentor, King Oliver, joining his band in Chicago, where he networked with other popular jazz musicians like Hoagy Carmichael and his first wife Lil Hardin Armstrong.

In 1924, Louie relocated to New York City playing for the Fletcher Henderson Orchestra. It was at this time he switched over from cornet to trumpet in order to blend in better with the other musicians in his section. It was also when he developed his emotional playing style, which included singing and telling tales of his life back in New Orleans.
