Yardbird Suite Songtext
von Karrin Allyson

I sing this song
Hoping you′ll all find out
The matter of the Yardbird Suite

I'll leave you no doubt
Tell you about
Charles Yardbird Parker
Was his name, the facts
He carved a name in history

A sax was his axe
His improvisation was miraculous
Mastermind of rhythm was he
He blew notes that nobody
Had ever blown before
To them boombas ain′t never been
So often true
As genius seems to do
He suffered his whole life through
Because of the Yardbird Suite
