A little jazz is just a bit of this |
|
And that sometimes we sing |
|
Sometimes we play, sometimes we scat |
|
But most of all it's how you feel about the groove |
|
And when it's groovin', how the groove makes you move |
|
Jazz music sprouted rock and roll |
|
It was the very first music that we call soul |
|
Jazz is hot, it's cool, it's good, it's bad |
|
And it can change your mood to happy from sad |
|
Jazz is hip, it's groovy, it's fresh, it's jive |
|
And when you play it, it makes your soul come alive |
|
You know it's the up beat rhythm that makes it bop |
|
And once you get it started, well, it sure is hard to stop |
|
No other music can compare |
|
When the bass starts walkin' it fills the air |
|
You know that the sass of brass has made it last |
|
And it's the groove of blues from present to past |
|
Hey, what about some of those great legends of jazz? |
|
Yeah, like Jazz Royalty |
|
Oh, you mean Duke Ellington and Count Basie |
|
What about the great horn players? |
|
Louis Armstrong, yeah, and Miles and Dizzy too |
|
Don't forget Snookie |
|
What about Yarnburn? |
|
What? Don't you mean Charlie Parker? |
|
Yeah, this cool named Freddy Hubert |
|
A little jazz is just a little bit of this |
|
And that sometimes we sing |
|
Sometimes we play, sometimes we scat |
|
But most of all it's how you feel about the groove |
|
And when it's grovin', how the groove makes you move |
