here are the Symphony Sid lyrics I found-
C.BEEKS AND THE GREAT LESTER YOUNG WROTE THE SONG IN 1947. then King Pleasure recorded the vocal version. King Pleasure was James Moody who also recorded moody's mood for love. Anyone remember listening while in your bronx beds.? Jumpin' With Symphony Sid Jumpin' with my boss Sid in the city Jumpin' with my boss Sid in the city Mr. President of that DJ committee We're gonna be up all night gettin' ready We want you to spin the sounds from the city Far down in the land that's real real pretty Let everything go real crazy over jazz Make everything go real crazy over jazz Let everything cool for me and my baby I don't wanna think we're listening too lazy It's gotta be Pressburg cheering all the Basie It's gotta get it all set right clear on the eighty Let it roll Let it roll JIMMY |

Jumpin' With Symphony Sid Written by C. Beeks and Lester Young (1947) Jimmy, I would check your info again. I last heard "Symphony" Sid Torin broadcast in the 60s form WADO-AM... The lyrics were first sung by Joe Jackson..... |

FYI, "King Pleasure" was Clarence Beek's stage name. He composed the lyrics to the tune.

Sorry to correct you Jimmy - From the album "Golden Days" on hifijazz records:
"My name is Clarence Beeks. My professional name of 'King Pleasure' is by selection as strange to me as the sudden 'revelation' that occurred to me in my sleep and woke wme upright at the age of six in Oakdale, Tenn., my birthplace." "The New Symphony Sid" King Pleasure wrote this "I Got Rythymish" number. "Famous jazz disc jockey Symphony Sid (in New York) had been using Lester Young's 'Jumping With Symphony Sid' since the early 40's." King Pleasure explains: "I figured he should have something new as a theme" |
