And there on the stage special was born

First we heard The Bean
Then the word on the scene was so
Jeffersons voice, what a beautiful noise
Master of a and what an inventor
Singin the spirit of jazz at the center
Anyone whod hear it knew he was a mentor
Enter for the love the
You found the rhythm town you can marry vocabulary
To melody that you hear
For when Eddie would sing, the was king
Hed talk about a thing, then be sockin it the swing of a bat
He sang it that!
He embrace his lyrical zen to
Tickle those phrases he was meant to
us to places nobodyd been to
An climb, the cleverest kind!
When Parker and Moody played it
There was a in the crowd
And then when Eddie elevate it
The community bowed
Hed evoke what we heard on the rides
And make word tell a story besides
And all tippin our hat!
He Was The Cat.
