Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Come on babe, why dont we paint the town?
And all that jazz
I'm gonna rouge my knees and roll my stockings down
And all that jazz
Start the car
I know a whoopee spot
But the piano's hot
It's just a noisy hall
Where there's a nightly brawl
And all...that...jazz!
Slick your hair and wear your buckle shoes
And all that jazz
I hear that father dip is gonna blow the blues
And all that jazz!
Hold on hun we're gonna bunny hug
I bought some aspirin down at United Drug
In case you shake apart and want a brand new start
To do...that...jazz!
Find a flask we're playing fast and loose
And all that jazz
Right up here is where I store the juice
And all that jazz
Come on babe we're gonna brush the sky
I betcha lucky Lindy never flew so high
'Cause in the stratosphere how could we lend an ear
To all that jazz!
Oh, you're gonna see your sheba shimmy shake
And all that jazz
Oh, she's gonna shimmy til her garters break
And all that jazz
Show her where to park her girdle
Oh, her mother's blood will curdle
If she'd hear her baby's queer
For all...that..jazz!
Come on babe why dont we paint the town
And all that jazz
I'm gonna rouge my knees and roll my stockings down
And all that jazz
Start the car
I know a whoopee spot
Where the gin is cold
But the piano's hot
Its just a noisy hall
Where there's a nightly brawl
And all that jazz!
No, i'm no one's wife
But, Oh i love my life
And all that jazz!
That Jazz!
The song "All That Jazz" from the musical "Chicago" is a fast-paced jazz number that describes the wild and exciting lifestyle of the 1920s in Chicago. The lyrics are sung by Velma Kelly and the other women in the women's prison, where the story takes place. The song opens with the catchy line "5-6-7-8!" which is often used in dance numbers to signal the start of the dance routine.
The song is about the singer's desire to escape the prison and her past life as a performer. She wants to paint the town red, roll her stockings down and rouge her knees, all in preparation for a wild night out. She knows of a "whoopee spot" where the gin is cold and the piano's hot, and encourages her friend to join her on this adventure.
Throughout the song, the singer urges her friend to come along with her and experience the hedonistic lifestyle that Chicago has to offer. The lyrics are full of references to dancing and partying, as well as the slang and slangy language of the era.
"All That Jazz" is a classic jazz standard that has been performed by many famous musicians over the years, including Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, and Liza Minnelli. It is one of the most popular songs from the musical "Chicago," which has been adapted into several films and stage productions.
