My parents had a copy of this when I was a kid. I listened to it all the time and still love it.

I have that, too. Takes me back. Currently listening to the bonus tracks on the re-release of the Stones' Some Girls. Some great blues tracks (Keep Up Blues is a favorite). I am also listening to an album of standards by Linda Ronstadt--this is post her Nelson Riddle work (which was fantastic stuff). She really nails Cry Me A River.

Marion Harris -- I'm A Jazz Vampire (1920)

Say did you ever hear the saxophone?
Let out an awful moan. Let out an awful groan.
It makes you feel so nervous, yet it's great
It's the saxophone a calling to its fate
That sweet coquette, the clarinet
Now listen for a minute and the birth of jazz you'll hear
And where there is a little jazz, you'll always find me near

For I'm a Jazz Vampire
Take a look, take look, take a look at me
And dance, dance!
Dancing is my specialty
Wise men keep out of my way
They know I'll lead 'em astray
They fall the minute I sway
I insist you can't resist a Jazz Vampire
Take a tip, take a tip, take a tip from me
For I'm all the evil music has
Went down to the river, sat on the bank
Shook my shoulders and the boats all sank
For I'm the meanest kind of Jazz Vampire
I'm the wicked vampire of the Jazz

Get up in the morning and I make the coffee whole
Ham and eggs turned over, put the crawlers in a hole
Get up on a trolley car, the car begins to sway
Sit upon a half a dozen laps to start the day
I walk into the office and I greet the starter there
Six or seven elevators go up in the air
Sit down at my Remington and syncopate the keys
The fellow by the water can gets water on the knees
The boss dictates a letter, you'd swear I'm like a saint
The man who gets the letter has to stop and hesitate
And when the day is over and the sun sets in the west
Say, I'm the only little bird who doesn't go to rest

For I'm a Jazz Vampire
Take a tip, take a tip, take a tip from me
For I'm all the evil music has
I stood by the ocean and no one around
I shook my shoulders and the sun went down
For I'm the meanest kind of Jazz Vampire
I'm the wicked vampire of the Jazz
