- I know why
Why do robins sing in December,
Long before the springtime is due?
And even though it‘s snowing
Violets are growing,
I know why and so do you...
Why do breezes sigh ev’ry evening,
Whispering your name as they do?

Who's the lovin' daddy with the beautiful eyes
What a pair o' lips, I'd like to try 'em for size
I'll just tell him, "Baby, won't you swing it with me"
Hope he tells me maybe, what a wing it will be
- Mr. Sandman
Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream (bung, bung, bung, bung)
Make him the cutest that I've ever seen (bung, bung, bung, bung)
Give him two lips like roses and clover (bung, bung, bung, bung)
Then tell him that his lonesome nights are over.
Sandman, I'm so alone
Don't have nobody to call my own
Please turn on your magic beam
Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream.
- Poinciana
Poinciana, your branches speak to me of love
Pale moon is casting shadows from above
Poinciana, somehow, I feel the jungle heat
Within me, there grows a rhythmic, savage beat
Love is everywhere, it's magic perfume fills the air
To and fro you sway, my heart's in time, I've learned to care
Poinciana, from now until the dawning day
- Song Of The Volga Boatmen

Дальнейшее развитие джаза происходило за счёт освоения джазовыми музыкантами и композиторами новых ритмических и гармонических моделей
