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?
|
Yea, like Jazz Royalty!
|
Oh, you mean Duke Ellington and Count Basse.
|
What about the great horn players?
|
Louis Armstrong, yea and Miles and Dizzy too!
|
Don't forget Snookie.
|
What about Yarnburn..
|
What, don't you mean Charlie Parker
|
Yea 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
