THE GROOVE IS MIGHTY HIGH/ LET’S THROW DOWN AND FLY UP TO THE SKY/
KEROUAC BLOWIN’WORD JAZZ WITH STRINGS/MILES AT THE BLACK KAWK, MAN WHAT A SCENE/ JACK AND MILES WALKED THE WALK AND TALKED THE JAZZ TALK/ NO BLUE NOTES HERE/JUST HIGH NOTES OF BE-BOP KOOL/ MAN I’M INTO THIS JAZZ SCENE/SAY BABY WHATCHA SAY? SHE’S INTO MILES ALL THE WAY/ SO WHAT MILES SAYS/ MAN I GOTTA FLY TO A LATE NITE JAM WITH MONK, DIZ, AND TRANE / WILL SOMEBODY CALL ME A CAB? LIKE I’M OUTTA HERE/
(GUITAR SOLO)
TOP DOWN RIDE/DEX’S BLASTIN’ FROM THE CAR RADIO/THE COAST HIGHWAY LEADS THE WAY/MILES REMAINS HIP TO THIS DAY/BEAT POETS DIGGIN’ DEEP INTO THE NU BE-BOP SOUNDS/ THEIR WORDS FLOWING HIGH/LIKE A CIRCUS ACT FIFTY FEET HIGH/ KEROUAC EVEN GOT BOOKED AT THE VANGUARD NYC/READING HIS BEAT POETRY WITH JAZZ CATS BACKING HIM/ AND SCATTING NOTE FOR NOTE ON A MIES HORN SOLO/ SO WHAT MILES SAYS/ MAN I GOTTA FLY TO A LATE NITE JAM WITH KENNY CLARK, HERBIE, AND DAVE HOLLAND BY BY/( ORGAN SOLO)
MAN THE GROOVE IS MIGHTY HIGH/ LET’S TALK ABOUT BIRD FLYIN’ UP TO THE SKY/KEROUAC BLOWIN’ HIS WORDS ON STEVE ALLEN’S TV SHOW/ MILES AT THE BLACK HAWK/MAN WHAT A JAZZ SCENE ON THE GOGO/SO WHAT MILES SAYS I GOTTA BLOW TO DIG ON A RECORDING SESSION IN NEW YORK’S SO HO/ MY CAB’S HERE I’M OUT THE DOOR
