I'm here to just confirm what I've been really always sayin'

About modern jazz, it's the savior of the nation

And I believe in it, you do too, the rhythm and blues

Like Bird, when he thought up this melody

The message he played on his horn was a steady conformation

That he'd discovered the sound that makes the music be free

This may sound unstable, but I know I'm

Able to talk straight in song to you

My lyrics may be fast, sometimes a word may shoot past folks

But so I keep you swingin', I know I gotta stay true

So like the Bird, I'm gonna say that jazz is always a happiness groove

So come on and I'll confirm it, 'twas certainly

The Bird that I heard with a word of conformation
