Cool groovy jazz cats   And country western buckaroos   Classical conductors   And rock 'n' rollers watch your cues      Let the trends keep on passin', what I do's   A thing called jazzin' the blues      I hear some fusion   Makes me wonder what to fuse   Afro, Cuban, Asian   Color comes in many hues       But whatever style's in fashion, I'll never lose   A passion for jazzin' the blues      Disco to hip-hop   There are many avenues   Pop rock to bebop   Why should I be forced to choose      Ain't no fortune I'm amassin', all I'm askin' you's   To let me keep on jazzin' the blues      Retro to techno   Is one example you can use   Where a sample is ample   To turn the oldies into news      But through all the razzmatazzin', and ballyhoos    I'm gon'a keep on jazzin' the blues      No explanation   I've got nothin' to excuse   Without invitation   Music writes it's own reviews      I might be my own assassin, but win or lose   I'm gon'a keep on jazzin' the blues      I can take the harassin', cheers or boos   I'm gon'a keep on jazzin' the blues   There is nothin' surpassin', my music muse   That keeps me jazzin' the blues   Jazzin’ the blues, Yeah
