Louis Armstrong - High Society Calypso Lyrics
(Cole Porter)Louis Armstrong - 1956[Armstrong]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[All]In High, High So-High So-ci-,High So-ci-ety.[Armstrong]I wanna play for my former pal-He runs the local jazz festival.His name is Dexter and he's good news,But sumping kind of tells me that he's nursing the blues[All]In High, High So-,High So-ci-,High So-ci-ety.[Armstrong]He's got the blues 'cause his wife, alas,Thought writing songs was beneath his class,But writing songs he'd not stop, of course,And so she flew to Vegas for a quickie divorce[All]In High, High So-,High So-ci-,High So-ci-ety.[Armstrong]To make him sadder, his former wifebegins tomorrow a brand-new life.She started lately a new affairAnd now the silly chick is gonna marry a square[All]In High So-,High So-ci-,High So-ci-ety.[Armstrong]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,[All]In High, High So-High So-ci-,High So-ci-ety.
