Tony Adamo Poet Lyric

Nu-Jack Kerouac

Nu-Jack Kerouac/Tony Adamo 2010

Miles,  Monk, Bird, Dizzy Gillespie & Train 
Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsburg, Mingus and the Duke/
Wrote Music books and poetry that had the power to change our musical  written word/
They walked the walk baby and be-boped the talked/
Miles , Monk they dreamt in jazz time
(BRIDGE)
You got Ta be kool  Nu-jack Kerouac
You got to be right with jack n’ jazz
You can see the light man it’s soo damn hip
To be where it’s at such a poet’s trip
Nine Miles of jazz blue’s
Jazz starts with a bite of kool

Turn around into a new sound/ 
You’ll be strutin’ the fellin’ baby/
Into a soul Funkin It’s a new thing
It’s somethin’ else man you know what I’m talkin bout/
Night trippin day dreamin’ Ohhh baby/ 
Let’s get down with it/
(Solo)

(BRIDGE)
You got Ta be kool  Nu-jack Kerouac
You got ta be right with jack n’ jazz
You can see the light man it’s sooo damn hip
To be where it’s at such a poet’s trip
Nine Miles of jazz groove
Jazz starts with a bite of kool man all right

Let’s don’t forget Dex, the Pres,  Ella, Sweet Pea/
They gave birth to a whole new school in a jazz o’ frame of mind/
That’s what I’m talkin bout/
You got Ta be kool  Nu-jack Kerouac/Vamp out
From Tony Adamo’s Miles of Blu CD
