Jazz
Jazz. Jazz. Jazz Playin’, singin, swingin.
Jazz. Jazz. Jazz Playin’, singin, swingin. Jazz.
Born in America, oh so long ago,
Jazz is music everyone should know.
Down in New Orleans, people heard the sound.
Jazz was happenin all around the town.
It was a blending, it was an evolution.
It was a style that simply came to be.
It spread around, this music revolution,
Till it was played from sea to jazzy sea.
Oh Jazz. Jazz. Jazz Playin’, singin, swingin.
Jazz. Jazz. Jazz Playin’, singin, swingin. Jazz.
Jazz Rhythm Jazz Swing
Jazz Blue Notes Jazz Improvisation
Improvisation
Oh Jazz. Jazz. Jazz Playin’, singin, swingin.
Jazz. Jazz. Jazz Playin’, singin, swingin. Jazz.
Playin’, singin, swingin.
Playin’, singin, swingin.
Oh Jazz
Harmony
Haven't seen your face for a while
Have you quit doing time for me
Or are you still the same spoiled child
Is this the only place you thought to go
Am I the only man you ever had
Or am I just the last surviving friend that you know
We're pretty good company
Looking for an island
In our boat upon the sea
Harmony, gee I really love you
And I want to love you forever
And dream of the never, never, never leaving harmony
Open up your heart and let your feelings flow
You're not unlucky knowing me
Keeping the speed real slow
In any case I set my own pace
By stealing the show, say hello, hello
"On Top Of The World"
If you love somebody
Better tell them while they’re here ’cause
They just may run away from you
You’ll never know quite when, well
Then again it just depends on
How long of time is left for you
I’ve had the highest mountains
I’ve had the deepest rivers
You can have it all but life keeps moving
I take it in but don’t look down
‘Cause I’m on top of the world, ‘ay
I’m on top of the world, ‘ay
Waiting on this for a while now
Paying my dues to the dirt
I’ve been waiting to smile, ‘ay
Been holding it in for a while, ‘ay
Take you with me if I can
Been dreaming of this since a child
I’m on top of the world.
I’ve tried to cut these corners
Try to take the easy way out
I kept on falling short of something
I coulda gave up then but
Then again I couldn’t have ’cause
I’ve traveled all this way for something
I take it in but don’t look down
‘Cause I’m on top of the world, ‘ay
I’m on top of the world, ‘ay
Waiting on this for a while now
Paying my dues to the dirt
I’ve been waiting to smile, ‘ay
Been holding it in for a while, ‘ay
Take you with me if I can
Been dreaming of this since a child
I’m on top of the world.
Oooooooo... OoooAhhhhhOoooAhhhhh[2x]
‘Cause I’m on top of the world, ‘ay
I’m on top of the world, ‘ay
Waiting on this for a while now
Paying my dues to the dirt
I’ve been waiting to smile, ‘ay
Been holding it in for a while, ‘ay
Take you with me if I can
Been dreaming of this since a child
And I know it’s hard when you’re falling down
And it’s a long way up when you hit the ground
Get up now, get up, get up now.
And I know it’s hard when you’re falling down
And it’s a long way up when you hit the ground
Get up now, get up, get up now.
‘Cause I’m on top of the world, ‘ay
I’m on top of the world, ‘ay
Waiting on this for a while now
Paying my dues to the dirt
I’ve been waiting to smile, ‘ay
Been holding it in for a while, ‘ay
Take you with me if I can
Been dreaming of this since a child
I’m on top of the world.
