  Playing Jazz

Rock and Roll is not here to stay
Resurrecting the blues is better
Century 21, don't mention it
History books are not for play
All travelers or vacationers
Grayhounds back in town
That rock star has lost his bus
Get back to the city to be attached

Richard Britney, had to die
Too many concerts cancelled
Not a single black soul knew a thing
Her funeral came with the tennis shoes
She went slumped in a bowl of melted ice cream

The home of Ross child Nonfairly
Would fly her space ship, no deals
Dancing on the streets, jazz, latin soul, and modern
Rock and roll stars have aged, Hit the streets, for Aldo
And shot John Benedryl, to boot
Rock in Roll is not here to stay
Jazz Is
