Jazz Kit Mix

Blow your gills out
with Miles Davis, mellow n kind of blue
relax in black 'n white ways 'n days

all; all the jazz kit

Go on a blues Holiday Billie
away with the Jones’s Nora
get some Rays with Charles

Lenard needs his raincoat
he’s Cohen, hallelujah
hey that’s no way to say goodbye

Jason’s going 93 million Mras
to see if he can Bossa Nova
Amy’s gone the Winehouse with Mr Jones

Ronnie’s off up Scott
not Holland seeking Jools
or Lincoln looking for Abbey

with all; all the jazz kit

Immersed in Ethel Waters
Roberta took some Flack
and Charlie had to Parker

Ellington was no Duke
to some, 50 years ensemble king
he said; it don’t mean a thing

Courtney doesn’t Pine or sing
Benny, who stomped at the Savoy
was a Goodman, not a bad boy

Eartha wanted to be evil
but was so good
for Christmas she got nothing
she got nothing for Christmas 

but had it all; all the jazz Kitt.
