Jazz-Man
Britten, Benjamin
Crash and Clang! Bash and Bang!
And up in the road the Jazz-Man sprang!
The One-Man-Jazz-Band playing in the street,
Drums with his Elbows, Cymbals with his Feet,
Pipes with his Mouth, Accordion with his Hand,
Playing all his Instruments to Beat the Band!
Toot and Tingle! Hoot and Jingle!
Oh, What a Clatter! how the tunes all mingle!
Twenty children couldn't make as much Noise as
The Howling Pandemonium of th One-Man-Jazz!
