Little Jazz Bird
Singing the Blues: Embracing Life as a Little Jazz Bird
Lyrics
Into a cabaret one fatal day
Enters a cabaret on a fateful day
A little songbird flew found it so very gay
A small songbird enters and finds the atmosphere joyful
He thought he'd stay
Decides to stay
Just to get a bird's-eye view
Intends to get a high perspective
When he heard the jazz band playin'
Hears a jazz band playing
He was happy as a lark
Feels happy, comparable to a lark
To each measure he was swayin'
Sways to the music's rhythm
And he stayed till after dark
Stays until late into the night
Then back to the land he knew
Returns to familiar surroundings
Thrilled through and through
Thrilled by the experience
He sailed on in the air
Feels like sailing through the air
Called to the other birds and in these words
Calls out to other birds, expressing joy
Started gurgling then and there:
Begins making joyful sounds
I'm a little jazz bird
Declares being a little jazz bird
And I'm tellin' you to be one, too
Encourages others to become jazz birds
For a little jazz bird
States that a jazz bird is ecstatic while singing blues
Is in heaven when he's singin' blue

I say it with regret but you're out of date
Suggests one hasn't experienced anything until syncopating
You ain't heard nothin' yet
Encourages syncopation for a richer experience
Till you syncopate
(No specific content in this line)
When the goin' is rough
Suggests that troubles vanish when expressing oneself like a saxophone's moan
You will find your troubles all have flown
Offers a recipe to try and promises agreement with its effectiveness
If you warble your stuff
Declares that a little jazz bird is the preferred bird
Like the moanin' of a saxophone
(whistling break - no specific content)
Just try my recipe and I'm sure you'll agree
Encourages trying the suggested recipe for agreement
That a little jazz bird
Reiterates that a little jazz bird is the ideal bird
Is the only kind of bird to be

-I say it with regret but you're out of date
Repeats the idea of being outdated without syncopation
You ain't heard nothin' yet
Reiterates that one hasn't experienced anything until syncopating
Till you syncopate
(No specific content in this line)
Just try my recipe and I'm sure you'll agree
Reiterates that a little jazz bird is the ideal bird
That a little jazz bird
(No specific content in this line)
Is the only kind of bird to be
Concludes that a little jazz bird is the only kind of bird to be
