4 = blow hole 4-4 = draw hole 4’ = bend< = slide in
They call it that Jer-sey bounce
A rhy-thm that real-ly counts
The tem-per-'ture al-ways mounts
Wher-ev-er they play,
the fun-ny rhy-thm they play
It start-ed on Jour-nal Square
And some-bod-y heard it there
He put it right on the air
And now you hear it ev-'ry-where
Up-town, gave it new licks
Down-town, add-ed some tricks
No town, makes it sound, the same
As where it came from
So if you don't feel so hot
Go out to some Jer-sey spot
And wheth-er you're hep or not
The Jer-sey bounce-'ll make you swing
