A long time ago in the 40's

Dizzy and Bird gave us this song

They called it "A Night In Tunisia"

And the melody still lingers on

It was new and very strange

Blew the squares right off the stage

Few could play along

But the melody still lingers on

Max and Miles to name just two

Together they grew

The music was young and strong

And the melody still lingers on

They paved the way for generations

From Coltrane to Stevie

No one could stop the winds of change

Without them where'd we be?

The Duke and the Prez were there before

The past you can't ignore

The torch is lit, we'll keep the flame

And the melody remains the same

In the 40's

A night in tunisia

In the 40's

A night in tunisia

In the 40's

A night in tunisia

In the 40's

A night in tunisia
