(Spoken)
ARMSTRONG:
Hey see here, see here, Hines...
Why don’t you let us in on some of that good music, Pops?

HINES:
Well, come on here, let’s get together then

ARMSTRONG:
Well, all right - tune up, boys…
How’s that, All right?

HINES:
That sounds pretty good

ARMSTRONG:
Yes, that sounds pretty good. I bet if you had a half a pint of
Miss Searcy’s gin, you wouldn’t say “That sounds pretty good.”
Lay it down, we’re gon’ play it anyway. Say c’mon Zutty, work
Them cymbals, Pops

(Music begins)

Don't forget our Monday date
That you promised me last Tuesday
I have found a cozy place
Oh please (find) me at noon-day
But remember
September
When the preacher says we’ll bill and coo
For ever and ever
And to make a Monday date
Or any date we’ll… (scat)
