Parker's Band
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Savoy Sides presents a new saxaphone sensation
It's Parker's band with a smooth style of syncopation
Kansas born and growin'
You won't believe what the boys are blowin'
You got to come on, man
And take a piece of Mister Parker's band
You'll be ridin' by bareback on your armadillo
You'll be groovin' high or relaxin' at Camarillo
Suddenly the music hits you
It's a bird in flight that just can't quit you
You got to come on, man
And take a piece of Mister Parker's band
We will spend a dizzy weekend smacked into a trance
Me and you will listen to a little bit of what made the preacherdance
Bring your horn along and you can add to the pure confection
And if you can't fly you'll have to move in with the rhythmsection
Either way you're bound to function
Fifty-Second Street's the junction
You got to come on, man
And take a piece of Mister Parker's
Clap your hands
And take a piece of Mister Parker's
Come on, man
And take a piece of Mister Parker's band
