[00:24.84]they took the tune and the words
[00:27.74]right from the mocking birds
[00:30.19]
[00:30.70]that's how a song was born
[00:33.74]
[00:34.62]and then the soft evening breeze
[00:38.14]huffed through the willow trees
[00:40.28]that's how a song was born
[00:44.06]
[00:44.75]the tinklin' rain from the sky
[00:48.02]became a lullaby
[00:49.85]and the blues must've come from a sigh
[00:53.45]
[00:55.20]and when two hearts beat in time
[00:57.47]bluebells began to chime
[00:59.93]
[01:00.53]that's how a song was born
[01:03.87]
[01:09.47]they took a reek jungle beat
[01:11.97]
[01:12.54]and brought it to Basin Street
[01:15.69]and that's how jazz was born
[01:19.65]and someone played a whale
[01:22.43]
[01:23.08]all up and down the scale
[01:25.47]and that's how jazz was born..
[01:29.18]
[01:29.81]they simply played what they liked
[01:33.14]as long as it would fit
[01:35.10]
[01:35.85]if it just had a beat
[01:37.86]that was it
[01:39.18]
[01:40.07]and when a heart gave a scream
[01:42.90]
[01:43.54]they took it as a theme
[01:45.93]and that's how jazz was born....
