Lyrics
Way, way back in the Bible days
Where there was no craze for jazz
Still they knew when they went to war
What a kick the cornet has
Walls of Jericho began to cave in
To the trumpets’ blow, the people gave in
Refrain:
Jericho, Jericho
Was a jazzy old town
Jericho long ago
Liked her music low down
We know she fought the foe
Till their trumpets blew
Then Jericho, Jericho
Fell, the same as we do
Performance
