Victor Should Have Been a Jazz Musician

I went to a concert, to see Nina Simone
The concert was over, there was still a band playing, the rap up

The booguh played with his hands
I close my eyes, and look at him
Victor should have been a jazz musician
I said to myself, Victor should have been a jazz musician

I looked at his face, and I saw Victor
Looked at his smile, and I saw Victor
I looked at his hair, and thought
Victor should have been a jazz musician
Victor should have been a jazz musician

And the people dancing on the floor, dancing on the floor, were so high
You should have seen Victor smile, you should have seen Victor smile
As they danced all the while
All around on the floor, and he laughed

Victor should have been a jazz musician
Oh, Victor should have been a jazz musician
He was playing so nice, the jazz musician
Ah, ah

He's living in a fast beat, in a city that's hot
Telling all the Latinos and Puerto Ricans, Victor seems happy
But he doesn't even know himself
He's gotta look inside to know his first love

Victor was a jazz musician, he was playing so nice
Victor was a jazz musician, [unverified] Victor was a jazz musician
Victor loves his music, he loves his music, somewhere, he plays his music, somewhere
Victor is a jazz musician, Jazz
