Curious about the wide world, Tubby takes his melody in his suitcase and travels to the big city where he
|
meets a jazz band. At first Tubby doesn't know how to fit in, but the band shows him that the tune he
|
learned from the Bullfrog can be jazz, too.

|
The Jazz Band
|
Listen to your heart,
|
Listen to the clock,
|
Listen to the train.
|
A heart's got rhythm,
|
A clock's got rhythm,
|
A train's got rhythm.
|
You gotta have rhythm
|
to clap your hands,
|
You gotta have rhythm
|
to tap your feet,
|
You gotta have rhythm
|
to understand
|
What makes jazz is a good downbeat!
|
Your heart starts pumpin',
|
Your feet start stompin',
|
The whole world's jumpin';
|
You feel like bustin' outta your skin,
|
It's jazz that's got you in a spin,
|
You feel you've got the world
|
in your hand --
|
Jazz can really make you understand.
|
A rollercoaster in the sky,
|
A red-hot trumpet's lullabye,
|
A lamppost on a rainy night,
|
A lonesome white electric light;
|
A brand-new pair of golden shoes,
|
A bullfrog singin' out the blues --
|
It's all connected with a beat
|
That goes right down from your heart to your feet.
|
Is your big heart thumpin'?
|
Yeah, man!
|
Are your two feet jumpin'?
|
Yeah, man!
|
Now ain't that somethin'?
|
Yeah, man!
|
That little bit of somethin' called Jazz.
