Jazz Age

F. Scott Fitzgerald was right

It was really the Jazz Age

Prolific through the twenties

Remember Louis Armstrong

Count Basie and Cab Calloway

Coming out of the war to end wars

You couldn't get a drink

Unless you visited a Speakeasy

Or you knew a rum runner

And you had better watch out

For Al Capone's gang

Forget about teaching evolution

Beware of the Weimar Republic

By the end of the era

Everyone was broken

By the Great Depression

No thanks for that ride

My version of a flapper!
