Описание: a fantastic cover by western swing legend Merrill Moore
originally composed by Jelly Roll Morton

Lyrics:
If you want to get your jollies, grab your coat and follow me
It's better than a show at Dollie’s, oh brother just wait and see

‘Cause way down south in old Louisiana there’s a fine marching band
And when they all begin the rock and roll round the block
they play more jive than any band in the land

And every time that they parade down Basin Street traffic always stops
When they start to shake it up, they really go and break it up, to stop it right better call the cops

They fall in behind ‘em with a syncopated beat, oh what a show, look at ‘em go

When they play King Porter Stomp, man how that great band could romp
Greatest music you could hear, it's like having Mardi Gras all year
Everybody’s going wild, laughing like a happy child
What a swinging marching spree, it's really something to see

Dig the beat, grab a seat, it’s a treat
You will meet the elite in the street
Beat your feet in the heat, its complete, start jumping, you’ll be having a ball

When they play King Porter Stomp, man how that big band would romp
It’s a crazy jamboree, that’s where I wanna be

When they play King Porter Stomp, man how that great band could romp
Greatest music you could hear, it's like having Mardi Gras all year
Everybody’s going wild, laughing like a happy child
What a swinging marching spree, it's really something to see

Dig the beat, grab a seat, it’s a treat
You will meet the elite in the street
Beat your feet in the heat, its complete, start jumping, you’ll be having a ball
you’ll be having a ball
