Bebop Baby

Intro

(Yeah) Swingin' down the avenue, feel that groove ignite

Lights are dancin', horns are callin', step into the night

Verse

Cat in the corner blowin' blue notes sharp and sly

Bass man walkin' that line, keepin' tempo high

Drummer's brushes whisper fire 'cross the snare so tight

Trumpet's bendin' phrases, chasin' tail through the fight

I spot you 'cross the smoke, eyes like midnight rain

Smilin' slow and easy, pullin' me through the pain

Your laugh cuts the chatter, syncopated sweet

Feet tappin' to the rhythm, hearts skip that off-beat

Chorus

Bebop baby, spin me 'round this crowded floor

Faster than the changes, leavin' me wantin' more

Twist and shout in the heat, yeah, let the good times roll

Bebop love, hot and wild, down to my soul

(Bebop, bebop) yeah, take me high

(Bebop, bebop) touch the sky

Verse

Solo's stretchin' longer, keys are flyin' free

Your hand in mine is sync, pure improv ecstasy

No script in this story, just the feel of now

Crowd's swayin' with the swing, forgettin' all somehow

Lip service to the lady, words tumble fast and fine

Rhymes chasin' like the chase, yours forever mine

Pianist's runnin' rivers, tide of sound we ride

Lost in this bebop tide, side by side

Chorus

Bebop baby, spin me 'round this crowded floor

Faster than the changes, leavin' me wantin' more

Twist and shout in the heat, yeah, let the good times roll

Bebop love, hot and wild, down to my soul

(Bebop, bebop) yeah, take me high

(Bebop, bebop) touch the sky

Bridge

Slow it down now, let the embers glow

One long note, hold it, let the feelin' grow

Then kick it up, double time delight

You and me in the pocket, burnin' bright all night

Chorus

Bebop baby, spin me 'round this crowded floor

Faster than the changes, leavin' me wantin' more

Twist and shout in the heat, yeah, let the good times roll

Bebop love, hot and wild, down to my soul

(Bebop, bebop) yeah, take me high

(Bebop, bebop) touch the sky

(Bebop, bebop) oh, feel alive

(Bebop baby) yeah, you and I

Outro

Swing it out now, fade into the blue

Bebop dreams, me and you

(Yeah...)
