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.
