Lyrics

As you see in my neighbourhood We would just call this, finger popping musical Being cool musical, suddenly back in Friday evening music And see what you can do, outta here I spend with B.A.K.E.N.S.A. Somebody say, hey I told yah... If you are feeling it, you say hey Uh Basie was never really commonplace He was always measures ahead And Ellington was more than number one For the music and things that he said Bird was the word back when tenors were heard From Kansas right up to the Prez, Lester Young Billie was really the Queen of the scene Echoing on in my head, echo would have Surely last is that Jazz? Hit it from there then Pa-pa-poh Hey yeah Miles that's a style that amazes and raises The spirits from deep in your soul 'Trane struck a vein of laughter and pain Adventures the mind could explore Stevie and Bob talk of freedom and Jah In their own individual way Playing and singing as long as it's bringing A message is all that it says Wouldn't have surely last but is that Jazz? We would call it here We overanaylze, we let others define A thousand precious feelings from our past When we express love and tenderness Is that Jazz? Jazz Jazz Jazz We overanaylze, we let others define A thousand precious feelings from our past When we express love and tenderness Is that Jazz? Jazz Jazz Jazz Dizzy's been busy while Grover gets us over With notes that go straight to the heart Brother Ron gets it on with a bassline so strong That the sounds seem to glow in the dark I take pride in what's mine is that really a crime When you know I ain't got nothing else? Only millions of sounds picks me up when I'm down Let me salvage a piece of myself What it has will surely last is that Jazz? What it has will surely last is that Jazz? What it has will surely last is that Jazz? What it has will surely last is that Jazz? Thank you, thank you Is that Jazz, I made this song, it's good you sing it Oh, tell me something, have ever has to blues Have you ever had to blues, (yeah) I mean you see, you can eat greens but you can feel the blues The blues comes, when there's something is missing in your life Lady is missing, the money is missing, the job is missing You missing something you should've been doing We are missing peace, we are missing peace of mind We would like to all look forward now For moving target this song is called, blue calm
