Lyrics
Chorus
Oh, that Dardanella blues
Ask the band to play it
And I’ll say they won’t refuse
It’s one sensation, with a jazz improvement
The orchestration shows up every movement
Oh, the Dardanella blues
The words are simply nothing
Nothing but a good excuse
I heard them say
The bass is just a little hard to play
But that is why
They like the Dardanella blues
