Yardbird Suite Lyrics

Charlie parker tune: Eddie 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.

[Chorus]
------
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.
