Jump for Joy
Duke Ellington, Sid Kuller, Paul Francis Webster
Fare thee well, land of cotton
Cotton lisle is out of style
Honey chile, jump for joy
Don't you grieve, little Eve
All the hounds I do believe have been killed
Ain't ya thrilled? Jump for joy
Have you seen pastures groovy?
Green Pastures was just a technicolor movie
When you start up to heaven
And you meet, yeah, old St pete
Tell that boy to please jump for Joy
Step right in, give Pete some skin
And jump for joy
Cotton lisle is out of style
Honey chile, jump for joy
All the hounds
I do believe, yes, have been killed
Ain't ya thrilled? Jump for joy
Have you seen pastures groovy?
Green Pastures was just a technicolor movie
When you start up to heaven
And you meet old St pete
Tell that boy, please jump for Joy
Step right in, give Pete some skin
And jump for joy
