Davis Miles - Yardbird Lyrics

Davis Miles
Yardbird
Yardbird
(charlie parker tune: Eddie Jefferson arrangement)

Verse I
-------

What is the Musical topic, of the Day?

Bebop so the critic's say, well that was ok!

Who were the originators, do you know?

Yardbird and Dizzy tell me, I think it's quite so.



Chorus
------

Now I'm just holding thumbs (?) like, Toscaninni and La Cost (?)

Well, as long as I'm hip to it, I think I'm hipper to the how,

explain it to the folks...


Verse II
--------

Bebop my friends was just a whole lotta fun!

You could take any old riff, and make a real long run.
