they took the tune and the words |
| [00:27.74] |
right from the mocking birds |
| [00:30.19] |
|
| [00:30.70] |
that's how a song was born |
| [00:33.74] |
|
| [00:34.62] |
and then the soft evening breeze |
| [00:38.14] |
huffed through the willow trees |
| [00:40.28] |
that's how a song was born |
| [00:44.06] |
|
| [00:44.75] |
the tinklin' rain from the sky |
| [00:48.02] |
became a lullaby |
| [00:49.85] |
and the blues must've come from a sigh |
| [00:53.45] |
|
| [00:55.20] |
and when two hearts beat in time |
| [00:57.47] |
bluebells began to chime |
| [00:59.93] |
|
| [01:00.53] |
that's how a song was born |
| [01:03.87] |
|
| [01:09.47] |
they took a reek jungle beat |
| [01:11.97] |
|
| [01:12.54] |
and brought it to Basin Street |
| [01:15.69] |
and that's how jazz was born |
| [01:19.65] |
and someone played a whale |
| [01:22.43] |
|
| [01:23.08] |
all up and down the scale |
| [01:25.47] |
and that's how jazz was born.. |
| [01:29.18] |
|
| [01:29.81] |
they simply played what they liked |
| [01:33.14] |
as long as it would fit |
| [01:35.10] |
|
| [01:35.85] |
if it just had a beat |
| [01:37.86] |
that was it |
| [01:39.18] |
|
| [01:40.07] |
and when a heart gave a scream |
| [01:42.90] |
|
| [01:43.54] |
they took it as a theme |
| [01:45.93] |
and that's how jazz was born.... |
