I'm here to just confirm what I've been   really always sayin'   About modern jazz   It's the savior of the nation   And I'll believe it if you do too   The rhythm & blues      Like Bird   When he thought of this melody   The message he played on his horn   Was the steady confirmation   That he discovered   The sound that makes the music be free      This may sound unstable   But I know I'm able to concentrate in song to you   My lyrics may go fast   Sometimes a word may get past folks   But so I keep it swingin'   I know I've got to stay true      So like the Bird I'm gonna say that jazz is always   A happiness groove   So come on and I'll confirm it   'Cause certainly the Bird that I heard   made the word of confirmation
