All That Jazz
All That Jazz/Dedicated to Horace Silver
That underground sound sizzles because it's hot!
That sound from underground tells a story
Drawn deep from my soul
It's moody...it's blue
Sometimes so sublime it soothes you
Jumping and jiving with a crackle and a pop...
Who's chomping that silver sound from those ivory keys?
Who's thumping that bass and walking the talk?
Trumpets on fire...flying high to dizzy heights!
The sax said, "Just kick back"
The melody's serenade persuades me to relax...
Thunder rolls...lighting flash...cymbals crash
Those mighty drums!
Red tom-toms and rumbles set the pace
For all that jazz
