(Jule Styne/Bob Merrill)

Wah-wah-wah?

Is that all you can say?

The lady ain't been born

Can take the place of a horn

With the cornet man

A goin' where there's blowin'

Trav'lin' cornet man.

Just anytime they call him

He leaves his wife and kiddies

Sittin' with their tongues out

To play for peanuts in some dive

And blow his lungs out.

He'll hop a choo-choo

On a moment's notice

To play some dates

With Billy Bates or Ragtime Otis.

The lady ain't see the light

Can give a home a fair fight

With a cornet man

A rootin', shootin'

Ever-tootin' Dapper Dan

Who carries in his satchel

A powder-blue Norfolk suit

A silver plated wah-wah mute.

There is drinkin' and gamblin', each one a curse

But I'm up against a devil that's worse

Yeah, a horn's my thorn

He's a trav'lin' cornet man.

(He's gotta go out on the road

He's got some dates with Billy Bates

He gave his notice to Ragtime Otis

He's gotta go, back on the road.)

The lady ain't see the light

Can give a horn a fair fight

With that cornet man

A rootin', shootin'

Ever-tootin' Dapper Dan

Who carries in his satchel

A powder-blue Norfolk suit

Silver plated wah-wah mute.

There is drinkin', gamblin', each one a curse

But I'm up against a devil that's worse

Yeah, a horn's my thorn

He's a trav'lin' cornet man.

Say it again!

A powder-blue Norfolk suit

Silver plated wah-wah mute

Shy on height, he's short on weight

But he's the only guy

Can make my coffee percolate

Dapper Dan, my cornet player man.
