Luyện nghe bài hát He Was The Cat (A Tribute to Eddie Jefferson)

There was a named Jefferson who
Would it up with the band
A vocalizin phenomenon who used to call the Main Man
He think like a sage, sing like a horn
And there on the stage somethin was born
He swing, dit n doo dat
He was The Cat.
He with Moody in 57
He put a to bop
When little came down from Heaven
He put it the top
was hot in the East, cool in the West
But his it was simply the best
man, couldnt he scat
He was The Cat.
Eddie was hip but as an old man
Takin trip to celebrate Coleman
Lettin it rip on Body and man
And oh what hed do, the poetry
A father was Jefferson but
He never got the
Were here to you that hes the one that
Put in the game
He would dig sittin in, the hit
And then he would out a story to fit
He was acrobat
He was The Cat.
was a time when there was jazz cookin up on every corner
Everybody would sit and listen as they
Tellin they knew in each his own way
Tellin the news, bop to
Set the any way theyd want to
was always there
Electrifyin the air everywhere be, let me tell ya
All around hear the sound of life abounding free
out of a horn, bein born a new way
Never knew what hear
First we heard The Bean
the word on the scene was so choice:
Eddie Jeffersons voice, a beautiful noise
Master of a and what an inventor
Singin with the of jazz at the center
Anyone whod hear it that he was a mentor
Enter for the the sound
You found the town where you can marry vocabulary
To every that you hear
For Eddie would sing, the story was king
Hed talk about a thing, then be it like the swing of a bat
He it like that!
He embrace his lyrical zen to
Tickle those like he was meant to
us to places nobodyd been to
An Everest climb, the kind!
When Charlie Parker and played it
There was a hush in the
And then Eddie would elevate it
The community bowed
Hed evoke what we heard on the rides
And make every word tell a story
And were all our hat!
He Was The Cat.
