|
A long time ago in the 40's
|
Dizzy and Bird gave us this song
|
They called it "A Night In Tunisia"
|
And the melody still lingers on
|
|
It was new and very strange
|
Blew the squares right off the stage
|
Few could play along
|
But the melody still lingers on
|
|
Max and Miles to name just two
|
Together they grew
|
The music was young and strong
|
And the melody still lingers on
|
|
They paved the way for generations
|
From Coltrane to Stevie
|
No one could stop the winds of change
|
Without them where'd we be?
|
|
The Duke and the Prez were there before
|
The past you can't ignore
|
The torch is lit, we'll keep the flame
|
And the melody remains the same
|
|
In the 40's
|
A night in tunisia
|
In the 40's
|
A night in tunisia
|
In the 40's
|
A night in tunisia
|
In the 40's
|
A night in tunisia
|
