Copenhagen - Clarkson Rose (1924)

Clarkson Rose sings "Copenhagen."

"Copenhagen" is a classic song from 1924. Charlie Davis wrote the tune, and Walter Melrose eventually added lyrics.

‘Way down in old
New Orleans you
will find shoulder
shakin' queens,
and when they roll
their eyes you wake
up in paradise.

And when that
old leader man,
I said when that
old leader man,
picks up his
saxophone all
the shoulder
shakers moan

Professor man,
won't you play
"Copenhagen"?

‘Cause that's one
tune sure has got
me runnin' wild!

Nobody knows how
that tune burns up
my clothes, so hey
hey hey syncopate
it all night long.
