From their 1958 Dot LP "Sing Sing Sing"

by Harry James

Lyrics

Though the man's dead somewhere I read

Shakespeare once said

You folks can have the men who make laws

Give me the music makers

I'd give my vote

Just for one note

Mendelssohn wrote

And letcha have the men who make laws

Give me the music makers

Classic music or low down

I like opera or 8 beat

There's no need for a show down

Critics say there are great beats

So let me repeat

Give me a beat

Rhythmic or sweet

And you can have the men who make laws

Give me the music makers

I may have read it

Or someone said it

That music tames a wild beast

And there are humans who pass for human

Who don't like one two at least
