Tubby Meets A Jazz Band

(album: The Manhattan Transfer Meets Tubby The Tuba - 1995)

[The Jazz Band:]
Listen to your heart
Listen to the clock
Listen to the train
A heart's got rhythm
A clock's got rhythm
A train's got rhythm
You gotta have rhythm
To clap your hands
You gotta have rhythm
To tap your feet
You gotta have rhythm
To understand
What makes jazz is a good downbeat
Your heart starts pumping
Your feet start stomping
The whole world's jumping
You feel like busting outta your skin
It's jazz that's got you in a spin

You feel you've got the world
In your hand
Jazz can really make you understand
A rollercoaster in the sky
A red-hot trumpet's lullaby
A lamppost on a rainy night
A lonesome white electric light
A brand-new pair of golden shoes
A bullfrog singing out the blues
It's all connected with a beat
That goes right down from your heart to your feet
Is your big heart thumpin'?
Yeah, man
Are your two feet jumpin'?
Yeah, man
Now ain't that somethin'?
Yeah, man
That little bit of something called Jazz
