Yardbird Suite

Charlie parker tuneEddie 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

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
