Sounds

Sounds like Fats .... Waller or Domino? I don't know, who do you want it to be? Sounds like Bob ... Marley or Dylan? I ain't tellin, who is it you're hearin'? Sounds like Jimmy Dorsey or Hendricks? Whatever, the quick fix is in my soul. Sounds like country soundin' like soul soundin' like jazz soundin' like reggae rappin' round rock 'n roll. Sounds like a drum in Nairobi. Sounds like a horn from Sierra Leone soundin' like they all had a beginning ... Was I there? Yes, thats what I feel from another time, and you were there too and thats why we do tap our toe with whatever flows. Sounds like Billy Holiday or Strayhorn? Doesn't matter, it all came from the same ... Source.
