Let’s Have some Jazz Tonight

Swivelin’ my hips round to the golden Saxophone
My scarlet pink lips vibrate and flow to the bouncin’ beats
Aabaa Baaba and I’m up and shakin’ and jumpin’ my dark brown boots fierce
I don’t feel blue no more because high hot blushing pink guitar is a’ strumming

Soft and profound as champagne blonde trombone makes my tears roll
The midnight black coffee’s good the golden beer’s better
Me n’ my honey we’s a swingin’ to the blues a lovin’
Till lavender sky goes down to deep violet

We lift up like Granny Smith green apples and dip low as pecan pie
Swinging to the all-night Jazz takes us from elegant silver to graceful gold
Lingering crimson red tunes glue us together like valentine lovers
Cheek to cheek no space in between we trot into the blazing orange dawn
