Here the form can be playful.
Possible architecture:
Intro Low “tuba” bass plus tiny high answer.
Main statement Loose two-beat/New Orleans-inspired feel.
Interlude Bass riff takes over.
Breakdown Melody fragment alone.
Comic false ending Huge chord.
Silence.
Re-entry Boogie or shuffle vamp.
Final statement Larger and brighter.
Tag Short repeated comic response.
Coda One deliberately over-serious mysterious chord—
then a tiny simple final tonic.
The form itself tells a joke.
