The Jazz Man Speaks (Maple Leaf Rag)
Jazz music is based on strictly music
You have the finest ideas from the greatest operas
Symphonies and overtures in jazz music
There's nothing finer than jazz music
Because it comes from everything of the finest-class music
The fact of it is, every musician in America
Had the wrong understanding about jazz music
Somehow, nothing got into the dictionary
That jazz is considered a lot of black noises and discordant tones
And it's something that would be even harmful to the ears
Jazz music is to be played sweet, soft, plenty of rhythms
When you have plenty of rhythms and plenty of swings
It becomes beautiful
You have the finest ideas from the greatest operas
Symphonies and overtures in jazz music
There's nothing finer than jazz music
Because it comes from everything of the finest-class music
The fact of it is, every musician in America
Had the wrong understanding about jazz music
Somehow, nothing got into the dictionary
That jazz is considered a lot of black noises and discordant tones
And it's something that would be even harmful to the ears
Jazz music is to be played sweet, soft, plenty of rhythms
When you have plenty of rhythms and plenty of swings
It becomes beautiful
