Ada Jones I'm in Love With the Slide Trombone

Verse 1:
Say! boys, can’t you guess the news,
I have surely got the blues,
My heart is my heart no more,
Someone else it’s jumping and a thumping for!
I have lost my appetite,
I can hardly sleep at night,
I love someone, if his name you’d know,
Listen to my tale of woe:

CHORUS:
It ain’t the man with the violin,
And it ain’t you, Mister Flute,
My heart doesn’t fret, For the busy cornet,
And his rootie, tootie, toot, toot, toot,
I’m not in love with the big bass drum,
Or the clarinet’s plaintive tone,
Get wise to my sighs and the light in my eyes,
I’m in love with the slide Trombone.

Verse 2:
Tell me, Mister Trombone, do,
Should I leave my home for you?
Though I’ve lovey doves galore,
You’re the duckey daisy I am crazy for!
When your slide trombone you play,
I could throw myself away,
Let us slide away after the show,
For I love your trombone so:

CHORUS:
It ain’t the man with the violin,
And it ain’t you, Mister Flute,
My heart doesn’t fret, For the busy cornet,
And his rootie, tootie, toot, toot, toot,
I’m not in love with the big bass drum,
Or the clarinet’s plaintive tone,
Get wise to my sighs and the light in my eyes,
I’m in love with the slide Trombone.
