The Man Who Invented Jazz - Bobby Valentino

I should have known better

I should have caught on

One moan from his saxophone and you were up and gone

I wanna know how he does it

Know what he has

The man who invented jazz

You’re taking the A train

You’re headed up town

I’ll bet his little sextet, all got your number down

Could it be his charisma?

Could it be his pizzazz?

The man who invented jazz

It can’t be his rhythm

It can’t be his songs

What can you do with 'em

Send him back where he belongs

You’re hummin' a new tune

You’re wearing a smile

One bite of his blues in the night and you would run a mile

Does he strike up a fanfare?

With that razzmatazz

The man who invented jazz

I wanna know how he does it

Know what he has

The man who invented jazz
