Yeah, like Jazz Royalty Oh, you mean Duke Ellington and Count Basie What about the great horn players? Louis Armstrong, yeah, and Miles and Dizzy too Don't forget Snookie What about Yarnburn? What? Don't you mean Charlie Parker? Yeah, this cool named Freddy Hubert A little jazz is just a little bit of this And that sometimes we sing Sometimes we play, sometimes we scat But most of all it's how you feel about the groove And when it's grovin', how the groove makes you move
