Joy of Jazz

In South Africa everybody has

Appreciation for the joy of jazz

They feel that groove

Their bodies move

And then it ain't nothing but a party

I'll tell you the story the way I heard

The joy jazz began in Johannesburg

The joy was strong, we wrote this song

Come on and sing along

The music playing

South Africa displaying

The essence of the word obowto

We know you feel it

Don't you try to conceal it

I can see there's going to be

Some singin' and drummin'

Dancin' and hummin'

Come on

Everybody get on the floor

And dance like you've never danced before

It's in the air, it's everywhere

Come share the joy of jazz

The sun is shining

South African defining

The essence of the word obowto

Hot, hot, hot-cha

I think the music's gotcha

I can see there's going to be

Some singin' and drummin'

Dancin' and hummin'

Come on

Everybody get up on the floor

And dance like you've never danced before

It's in the air, it's everywhere

Come share the joy of jazz

It's fun you know

So come on, let's go

And show your joy for jazz

I see you smile

And stay a while

It's in the air

It's everywhere

It's the joy

It's the joy of jazz

Come on, come on, come on!

It's in the air, it's everywhere

Come share the joy of jazz
