Jazzin' the Blues - Edgar Winter

Cool groovy jazz cats

And country western buckaroos

Classical conductors

And rock 'n' rollers watch your cues

Let the trends keep on passin', what I do’s

A thing called jazzin' the blues

I hear some fusion

Makes me wonder what to fuse

Afro, Cuban, Asian

Color comes in many hues

But whatever style’s in fashion, I’ll never lose

A passion for jazzin' the blues

Disco to hip-hop

There are many avenues

Pop rock to bebop

Why should I be forced to choose

Ain’t no fortune I’m amassin', all I’m askin' you’s

To let me keep on jazzin' the blues

Retro to techno

Is one example you can use

Where a sample is ample

To turn the oldies into news

But through all the razzmatazzin', and ballyhoos

I’m gon’a keep on jazzin' the blues

No explanation

I’ve got nothin' to excuse

Without invitation

Music writes it’s own reviews

I might be my own assassin, but win or lose

I’m gon’a keep on jazzin' the blues

I can take the harassin', cheers or boos

I’m gon’a keep on jazzin' the blues

There is nothin' surpassin', my music muse

That keeps me jazzin' the blues

Jazzin the blues, Yeah
