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
