Confirmation Songtext
von Eddie Jefferson

I′m here to just confirm what I've been really always sayin′
About modern jazz, it's the savior of the nation
And I believe in it, you do too, the rhythm and blues
Like Bird, when he thought up this melody
The message he played on his horn was a steady conformation
That he'd discovered the sound that makes the music be free
This may sound unstable, but I know I′m Able to talk straight in song to you
My lyrics may be fast, sometimes a word may shoot past folks
But so I keep you swingin′, I know I gotta stay true
So like the Bird, I'm gonna say that jazz is always a happiness groove
So come on and I′ll confirm it, 'twas certainly
The Bird that I heard with a word of conformation

That he'd discovered the sound that makes the music be free
This may sound unstable, but I know I′m
Able to talk straight in song to you
My lyrics may be fast, sometimes a word may shoot past folks
But so I keep you swingin′, I know I gotta stay true
So like the Bird, I'm gonna say that jazz is always a happiness groove
So come on and I′ll confirm it, 'twas certainly
