King Oliver

Joseph Nathan "King" Oliver (December 19, 1881 – April 10, 1938) was an American jazz cornet player and bandleader. He was particularly recognized for his playing style and his pioneering use of mutes in jazz. Also a notable composer, he wrote many tunes still played today, including "Dippermouth Blues", "Sweet Like This", "Canal Street Blues", and "Doctor Jazz". He was the mentor and teacher of Louis Armstrong. His influence was such that Armstrong claimed, "if it had not been for Joe Oliver, Jazz would not be what it is today." more »

Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

There they come, oh here we come
Look at them syncopators
Goin' home, oh going home 
Look at those demonstrators
Talk of town
Green and brown
Pickin' 'em up and layin' 'em down

Prancin' fools (oh prancin' fools)
That's what they like to call' em
They're in a class of their own
The only way for them to lose is to cheat 'em 
You may try but you'll never beat 'em
Strut that stuff
They don't do nothin' different
