The music plays again and yet again

From classical to pop and all that Jazz.

The stirring of the soul, that rhythm rocks!

Oh yeah, I like the blues and all that jazz!

So whether if it’s from Artie or Glenn

Or Duke or Basie, it’s still all that jazz.

The Admiral and doc can blow their horns!

Oh yes, it’s great to play out all that jazz!

I close this poem on that blessed sound

By Arthur Rider, take on all that jazz.
