| [00:10.08] |
The music started in the hearts and drums,from another land |
| [00:13.58] |
Played for everyone,by sons,of the motherland |
| [00:16.48] |
Sendin out a message of peace,to everybody and |
| [00:19.12] |
Came across the oceans in chains and shame |
| [00:21.70] |
Easing the pain,and it was without name |
| [00:24.54] |
Until some men in new orleans on rampart street |
| [00:27.14] |
Put out the sounds, and then they gave it a beat |
| [00:30.30] |
I'm talkin bout jelly roll, king, and satch |
| [00:33.40] |
I'm talkin bout the music that had no match |
| [00:35.71] |
Yes the music, and it was born down there |
| [00:38.44] |
We're gonna use it, so make the horn sound clear |
| [00:41.27] |
It's jazz music... jazz music |
| [00:55.66] |
Yo, the music that pops, and other cats made |
| [00:58.23] |
It stayed, cause people love when they played |
| [01:00.95] |
To the north, it took a riverboat shuffle |
| [01:03.70] |
To the big cities, with lots of hustle and bustle |
| [01:06.53] |
To chicago, and to the apple too |
| [01:09.32] |
This was a scene, that our forefathers knew |
| [01:12.40] |
Go get your crew, |
| [01:13.68] |
I know they'll get into |
| [01:15.00] |
The jazz music... jazz music.. |
| [01:40.74] |
The music called jazz had the razzamatazz |
| [01:43.63] |
It had the flavor, and a lot of pizazz |
| [01:46.16] |
The big band beat was very neat and unique |
| [01:48.96] |
The swing was king, it made you tap your feet |
| [01:52.00] |
There was benny and duke and of course the count basie |
| [01:54.66] |
The melody was smooth and yes, very taste |
| [01:57.78] |
There was hap, the prez, and lady day and |
| [02:00.38] |
Dizzy bird and miles, they were all playin |
| [02:03.00] |
They brought it to the people of the foreign lands |
| [02:05.94] |
Back across the oceans and the desert sands |
| [02:09.50] |
Where it echoes in the distant sounds of drums |
| [02:11.89] |
And it rises with the sun on days begun |
| [02:14.56] |
This is the music, that we give tribute to |
| [02:17.10] |
They gave it to us, that's why we give it to you |
| [02:19.90] |
the jazz music... |
| [02:25.67] |
the jazz music.. |
| [02:36.58] |
the jazz music... |
| [02:38.90] |
uh.. uh.. uh.. |
