A little story that I want to tell
About a certain band that you know well
An aggregation down in Michigan wit ha leader man by the name of Ben
They started jazzin’ back in ninety two and entertained the folks with music blue
No one has ideas like this leader has that’s why they call it the “Harbor of Jazz”
C
Gee! But ain’t it grand to hear that band play the “House of David Blues”
All the folks in town gather ‘round to see the funny things they do.
1) When they start ot play the women rave and then they start to yell Atta boy Dave!
2) Now the jazz they play is mighty weird tho’ they look like Santa Claus with a beard
3) A funny thing ‘bout the “House of David” they play the Barber Shop Chord but they never shave,
Oh! The House of David band is in demand, when they play the “house of David Blues.”
