High Society Calypso - Cole Porter, Louis Armstrong, MGM Orchestra

Just dig that scenery floating by

We’re now approaching Newport, Rhode I

We’ve been, for years, in Variety

But Cholly Knickerbocker, now we’re going to be

In high, high so

High soci

High society

I wanna play for my former pal

He runs the local jazz festival

His name is Dexter and he’s good news

But something kind of tells me that he’s nursing the blues

In high, high so

High soci

High society

He’s got the blues cause his former wife

Begins tomorrow a brand new life

She started lately a new affair

And now the silly chick is gonna marry a square

In high so

High soci

High society

But, Brother Dexter, just trust your Satch

To stop that wedding and kill that match

I’ll toot my trumpet to start the fun

And play in such a way that she’ll come back to you, son

In high, high so

High soci

High society

In high society

Can you dig old Satchmo swinging in the beautiful high society
