Really always sayin' 
About modern jazz 
It's the savior of the nation 
And I'll believe it if you do too 
The rhythm & blues 

Like bird 
When he thought of this melody 
The message he played on his horn 
Was the steady confirmation 
That he discovered 
The sound that makes the music be free 

This may sound unstable 
But I know I'm able to concentrate in song to you 
My lyrics may go fast 
Sometimes a word may get past folks 
But so I keep it swingin' 
I know I've got to stay [bad word] 

So like the bird I'm gonna say that jazz is always 
happiness groove  [bad word] on and I'll confirm it 
'cause certainly the bird that I heard 
Made the word of confirmation
