Now, here's a very entrancing phrase
It will put you in a daze
To me it don't mean a thing
But it's got a very peculiar swing!

Zaz-zuh-zaz-zuh-zaz-zuh-zay
Zaz-zuh-zaz-zuh-zoh
Zaz-zuh-zaz-zuh-zaz-zuh-zay
Zaz-zuh-zoh

Now, zaz-zuh-zaz was handed down
From a bloke down in Chinatown
It seems his name was Smoky Joe
And he used to hi-de-hi-de-ho

With her zaz-zaz-zuh-zay
Zaz-zuh-zee-zuh-zoh
Zaz-zuh-zaz-zuh-zaz-zuh-zay
Zaz-zuh-zoh

Now when Smoky Joe came into town
And he kicked the gong around
Any place that he would go
Minnie the Moocher she was sure to go

With her zaz-zaz-zuh-zay
Zaz-zuh-zaz-zuh-zaz-zuh-zay
Zaz-zuh-zee-zaz-zuh-zee-zaz-zuh-zee-zay
Zaz-zuh-zoh
It makes no difference where you go
But there's one thing that they sure do know:
There's no need for them to be blue
For the zaz-suh-zaz will always see them through!

With her zaz-zaz-zuh-zay
Zaz-zuh-zoh
Zaz-zuh-zee-zaz-zuh-zee-zaz-zuh-zee-zay
Zaz-zuh-zoh

Zaz-zuh-zaz-zuh-zaz-zuh-zoh
Zaz-zuh-zaz-zuh-zoh
Zaz-zuh-zaz-zuh-zoh
