The Spirit Of Jazz

There's somethin' in the water, there's somethin' in the air A little kind of magic that just appears Like the sound of a saxophone from the upstairs room It's the spirit of jazz, it's comin' through It takes me over, I just can't stop I'm like an old jazz player, scattin' in the barbershop Gonna feel the rhythm, the rhythm of life Get lost in the music 'til it feels just right I hear the music callin' me I got jazz on my mind, I'm tellin' you When I hear that beat, I'm singin' it too If you wanna find me, baby, you know where I'll be Jazz is gonna take me there, it's takin' me This old world's a mess, but I'm feelin' so blessed 'Cause I got that feelin', a sweet caress I hear the sounds, the rhythm, and the beat Like an old soul woman tappin' her feet They say that jazz is dead, but I know that's a lie It's all around, and it's right here inside All you gotta do is close your eyes You can feel it, you can hear it, it's comin' alive I hear the music callin' me I got jazz on my mind, I'm tellin' you When I hear that beat, I'm singin' it too If you wanna find me, baby, you know where I'll be Jazz is gonna take me there, it's takin' me The spirit of jazz is alive and well It's in my heart and soul, you can hear it swell Like a fever that's burnin', I'm burnin' hot Like a sweet jazz band, I've got the lot And all the old jazz cats are gatherin' 'round The old New Orleans sound Taken from the EP "The Spirit Of Jazz"
