Birdland lyrics

Five thousand light years from Birdland

but I'm still preachin' the rhythm.

Long gone uptight years from Birdland

and I'm still teachin' it with them.

Years from the land of the Bird

and I'm still feelin' the spirit.

Five thousand light years from Birdland

but I know people can hear it.

Bird named it, Bird made it,

Bird heard it, then played it, well-stated

Birdland - it happened down in Birdland.

In the middle of that hub

I remember one jazz club,

where we went to pat feet,

down on Fifty Secon' Street.

Ev'rybody heard that word

that they named it after Bird,

where the rhythm swooped and swirled,

the jazz corner of the world.

Add the cats they gigged in there

were beyond compare.

Birdland - I'm singin' Birdland!

Birdland - ol' swingin' Birdland!

Down them stairs lose them cares - where?

Down in Birdland!

Total swing, bob was king - there

Down in Birdland!

Bird would cook, Max would look - where?

Down in Birdland!

Miles came through, 'Trance came too - there

Down in Birdland!

Basie blew, Blakie too - where?

Down in Birdland!

Cannon Ball played that hall - there

Down in Birdland!

Yeah!
