Lyrics Yarbid Suite - Miles Davis

Yarbid Suite

Charlie parker tune: Eddie Jefferson arrangement)
Verse I
What is the Musical topic, of the Day?
Bebop so the critic’s say, well that was ok!
Who were the originators, do you know?
Yardbird and Dizzy tell me, I think it’s quite so
Now I’m just holding thumbs (?) like, Toscaninni and La Cost (?)
Well, as long as I’m hip to it, I think I’m hipper to the how
Explain it to the folks…
Verse II
Bebop my friends was just a whole lotta fun!
You could take any old riff, and make a real long run
