Ellamental
(专辑: The Sweetest Days - 1994)
Way back, take a
look, she would cook When they were stomping at the
savoy She would blow, and they would dance, don't you know ? It was an uptown kind a
show Cool notes and melodies, harmonies She sang the
song of the
universe She can make a
joyful noise up to heaven And call the
angels down to the
earth From jazz, to swing, to be-bop She kept the
spirit alive For bo, duke, dizzy, and miles She spoke her mind She's ellamental to the
art She spoke her mind She's ellamental to the
art Too hot, until the
dawn she sang on When joints were jumping and jive was in Bodies moving back and forth to the
rhythm Ever since ella first did her thing From jazz, to swing to be-bop She brought emotions and moves She kept the
spirit alive. She spoke her mind Act like ya know, oh! Was it the
smooth tones that was so much like butter Oh ella was singing just like no other singer Cause you know I
be the
funky bringer of the
new style Because I
be the
wild child. Listening to hip-hop, listening to be-bop and jazz Ella made you move that ass Sensation for the
people, insperation for the
sisters and brothers Smooth jazz for the
midnight lovers Savoy was the
spot for shaking on your rump and Ella made it hopping Got the
joint jumping, remembering you 'til the
dawn Because ella your memory goes on She spoke her mind (yeah...and it just don't stop) She's ellamental to the
art (the memory goes on and on...'cause it just don't stop) She spoke her mind (...yeah..jazz to the
bebop) She's ellamental to the
art She spoke her mind..(yeah...much love...) She spoke her mind...
