Music & Lyrics by Alan Paul & Les Pierce
|
|
It was cool in the fifties scattin' to
|
jazz and be-bop
|
It was the sound they were throwin' down
|
From LA to New York and
|
in every town
|
|
And with the rhythm in your souls
|
Add a hip-hop and bop n'
|
just so ya know
|
This thing it's back swing is king,
|
call it New Jack
|
|
(Chorus)
|
What goes around, comes around
|
(And that's the way it goes)
|
What goes around comes around and
|
comes around
|
Like that, a riff and a rhythm
|
What goes around, comes around
|
(And that's the way it goes)
|
What goes around, comes around
|
Like that, like that
|
|
Round, round and round
|
round we go
|
Round, round and round
|
round we go
|
|
People stomped in the cities
|
jumpin' to the groove of the music
|
They rocked and jammed
|
with the hipster clan
|
In the clubs, in the streets
|
and on every beat
|
And with the be-bop in their souls
|
They took the swing thing and
|
started to roll
|
And now it's a fact a little hip-hop
|
and bop has found a way back
|
|
(Repeat Chorus)
|
|
Be-bop, hip-hop,
|
hep hop don't stop
|
Be-bop, hip-hop,
|
add pop don't stop
|
|
(Rap)
|
Bix he had a bag of tricks
|
Parker came along exactly when
|
he changed the mix
|
Sax made a bang,
|
Monk made a change
|
And be-bop laid the tracks
|
for the Coltrane
|
They were getting busy,
|
a trumpet pumped
|
Your head got Dizzy and
|
you started to bump
|
They had a style,
|
beat was the backbone
|
You could see for Miles,
|
Mr. Philly Joe Jones
|
|
You may not realize swing
|
was here before
|
Because it's disguised and we've
|
added so much more
|
The time is now to show you how
|
to get the groove into your shoes
|
|
(Repeat Chorus)
|
Round, round and round
|
round we go
|
Round, round and round
|
round we go
|
(Repeat)
|
What goes around and round
|
Must come around and around
|
(Repeat)
|
|
