Louis Armstrong - High Society Calypso Lyrics






Just dig that scenery floating by
We're now approaching Newport, Rhode I
We've been, for years, in Variety
But Cholly Knickerbocker, now we're going to be

In high, high so
High soci
High society

I wanna play for my former pal
He runs the local jazz festival
His name is Dexter and he's good news
But something kind of tells me that he's nursing the blues

In high, high so
High soci
High society

He's got the blues 'cause his wife, alas
Thought writing songs was beneath his class
But writing songs he'd not stop, of course
And so she flew to Vegas for a quickie divorce

In high, high so
High soci
High society

To make him sadder, his former wife
Begins tomorrow a brand new life
She started lately a new affair
And now the silly chick is gonna marry a square

In high so
High soci
High society

But, Brother Dexter, just trust your Satch
To stop that wedding and kill that match
I'll toot my trumpet to start the fun
And play in such a way that she'll come back to you, son

In high, high so
High soci
High society

  17. j.... ....

    Haha yea pops is sure right about being high lol. That's not a tobacco he's smokiness.

  18. G.... ....

    End of song - beginning of story!

  19. j.... ....

    This was a great movie and very funny. Great cast, good story, nice songs and Grace Kelly sure was hot. How her expression changed in the last scene was hilarious and shows what a great actress she truly was. Too bad she went to to Monaco to get married. Hollywood lost a great talent. She only made 11 films. Who knows what else she would have done had she stayed in the movie industry.

    j.... ....

    jdewitt77 Yes, that’s very true but I think she always wanted to be a wife and mother and when she met Prince Rainer (spelling?) she found the man she wanted to be with forever, he just happened to be the Prince of Monaco. And I don’t think she ever truly turned her back on Hollywood she was still a voting member of the Motion Picture Academy and I think she served on the board of one of the film studios

  20. G.... J....

    Aug. 4th: Happy birthday Jazz trumpeter-Singer-composer-Bandleader-Actor Louis "Satchmo" Armstrong (1901-1971) Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, Grammy Hall of Fame, Down Beat Jazz Hall of Fame, star: Hollywood Walk of Fame.

    t.... ....

    Weird but true. There’s many videos you can see bubbles coming from the corners of his lips

  32. B.... M....

    Genial pelicula, y lo Q/es el Grandioso Luis Amstrong, todo glorioso!!

  33. J.... ....

    Thank you. I was not sure of a specific line.

    Heaven help Hollywood if the honchos even THINK of remaking this.

  34. t.... ....

    No, claves are those wooden sticks. I'm too ignorant to have known which Trummy Young was exactly but, as there's no trombone in this song/scene, I'm going to guess Trummy Young also turned his hand to a little percussion, and that we are talking about the same guy..and yes, I bet they'd all be thinking how the times do change...

    BTW, it was just a funny - no racist ; )

  35. s.... o....

    i'm too ignorant to know what the claves are, but I suspect you're referring to Trummy Young [on the trombone]; he was funny and he sort of resembles Obama; bet this band would have happy to see the day Obama won; I hope they could see it from Heaven, to which they surely took the express elevator--

  36. s.... o....

    I wonder if mr. satchelmouth and the dalai lama ever met; what a conversation THAT would have been, bodhisattva to bodhisattva--

  37. s.... o....

    there's only one of each of us, just like snowflakes; quite astonishing when you think about it; makes me believe in God, who I hope is just like Louis Armstrong--

  38. s.... o....

    you are correct; why wasn't it included? [sorry to nitpick, but I think it goes: "We've been for years IN variety, etc."] thanks for pointing out this unforgivable omission--

  39. s.... o....

    I've long suspected that Louis Armstrong might be God [or God Louis Armstrong]--here's hoping I'm right; there ain't nothing you couldn't explain to this cat--

  40. D.... P....

    Love his voice.

  41. t.... ....

    0:54 - lol, Obama's on the claves.

  42. t.... ....

    "HIZE-SO SI - OTEE!.."

  43. J.... ....

    This beginning is shortened--It starts, "just dig that scenery floating by, we're now approaching Newport Rhode-I, we've been for years and variety, Cholly Knickerbocker, now we're gong to be in High, High, High Soci-, High Society". (Accurate to the best of my knowledge).

    J.... ....

    Just as i remember it, especially the "Newport Rhode-I" !

  44. J.... M....

    ale ekipka Edmund Hall, Trummy Young, Alvell Shaw Barett Deems i inni Super..

  45. E.... ....

    the BEST :)

  46. N.... N....

  47. L.... K....

    He always has this crazy look on his face! You can't watch him perform without smiling :D

  48. B.... ....

    He always looks so damn happy when he's playing; he exudes class and respectability and every good vibe you can imagine.

  49. d.... ....

    I smoked good to this. Louie Armstrong was cool as hell.

  50. d.... ....

    Thumbs up if the commercial on TCM brought you here.

  51. W.... ....

    No words to describe gorgeous Grace Kelly in this movie- Beauty Queen. She's the only one. I think it's really impossible to see another Grace Kelly. She's the epitome of beauty and grace.

  52. �.... �....

    огромная энергетика. потрясающее. ВЕЛИКИЙ МАСТЕР. надеюсь он меня услышит.
