[Dixielandjazz] Sunset Cafe Stomp lyrics

Hi David,

I gave the Armstrong "Sunset Cafe Stomp" a listen and I couldn't make out 
the requested lyrics either.

But it seems to me that one of the lines was "Not to LOVE is wrong."

The other part, "They lose their heads . . . " is too indistinct for me. 
Could be something racy "They lose their heads, jump in beds" or something 
like that.

Good luck on your quest.
