| I should have known better
|
| I should have caught on
|
| One moan from his saxophone and you were up and gone
|
| I wanna know how he does it
|
| Know what he has
|
| The man who invented jazz
|
| You’re taking the A train
|
| You’re headed up town
|
| I’ll bet his little sextet, all got your number down
|
| Could it be his charisma?
|
| Could it be his pizzazz?
|
| The man who invented jazz
|
| It can’t be his rhythm
|
| It can’t be his songs
|
| What can you do with 'em
|
| Send him back where he belongs
|
| You’re hummin' a new tune
|
| You’re wearing a smile
|
| One bite of his blues in the night and you would run a mile
|
| Does he strike up a fanfare?
|
| With that razzmatazz
|
| The man who invented jazz
|
| I wanna know how he does it
|
| Know what he has
|
| The man who invented jazz |
