Sittin’ at the bar minding my own biz,
Nursing a drink and a bad attitude.
In strolls the band and maybe, maybe I’ll change my mood
As they play my favorite song and the bass- feel it down in my bones
And I, love it when they syncopate the time
Hey, can you make me forget my day.
Play my, 9-5 blues away.
Players. Play on. Play.
Sittin’ at the bar minding my own biz,
Nursing a drink and a bad attitude.
Surrounded by those who won’t drink
alone trying to change, change our mood
As thy play my favorite song and the bass, feel it down in my bones
And I love it when they syncopate the time
Hey, can you make me forget my day.
Melt all my, 9-5 blues away.
Players. Play on. Play.
It’s getting late and I know I should get home
Another workday will be here before you know, but maybe one more, one more song before I go, go, go.
Players. Play on. Play
Player. Play on. Play
Sittin at the bar minding my own biz
Nursing a drink and a bad attitude
In strolls the band and maybe, maybe I’ll
change my mood.

There Are Thorns
05:31
|

|
There are thorns among the red rose blooms
As there is rain before the sun breaks through
‘Cause what’s worth having never ever comes easy
There are thorns, hmp, yeah
Still, I’ll take my chances among the red rose blooms
Come-what-may it’s got to be better than shoulda-coulda-woulda blues
Standing tall, knowing I’ll likely fall a time, or two
Daring to walk among the red rose blooms
There are thorns among the red rose blooms
Sacrifice along the road where you
Follow to where you were meant to be
There are thorns, hey, yeah
Still take your take chances among the red rose blooms
Win-lose- or draw has got to be better than shoulda- coulda- shoulda-coulda-woulda blues
Standing tall, knowing you’ll likely fall a time, or two
There are thorns, daring, to walk among the red rose blooms
‘Cause among the blooms that’s where, that’s where, destiny calls your name
Among the blooms that’s where! that’s where! your
choices define who you are
Among the blooms that’s where life shows what it
has in store – just for you…
When you go, go ahead, take your chances among
the blooms
Say say say hey hey, I’ll take my chances, I’m
daring to take my chances
Walking through, I’m gonna walk through the
red rose. I’m gonna I’m gonna
I’m gonna hey hey hey
‘Cause among the blooms that’s where, that’s
where destiny calls your name
Among the blooms that’s where, your choices define who you are
Among the blooms that’s where life shows what
it has in store just for you…
When you go, go ahead, take your chances
among the blooms.
Say say say hey hey, I’ll take my chances, I’m
daring to take my chances
Walking through, I’m gonna walk through the
red rose.
I’m gonna, I’m gonna, I’m gonna, hey hey hey
Feel the fear and do it anyway,
Butterflies in my stomach, but I won’t let them get in my way
Buck up, hard work is the price to pay
And if you’re looking for me, me-e-e
If you’re looking for me, baby
There will be thorns, but you’ll find me among the blooms

One More Night To Burn
04:26
|
|||
|
There are some things only misery can grow
Some truths only pain show
Your love cost more than I can pay,
so I’m letting go, but not easily
My mind says it’s over; my heart says through
But my body’s slow getting over you
So here in the dark while sleep won’t come
I’m counting, one-one, more-more ni-night
One more night to burn, burn, burn
One more night to-ooo twist and turn
One more night to scream in my dreams
One more night to yearn
A blanket of stars, shined through my window
they watched you walk into my life, and they
watched you go and they whisper
You got what you wanted girl, but you don’t
want what you got, now you’re counting …
one-one, more-more ni-night
One more night to burn, burn, burn
One more night to twist and turn
One more night to scream in my dreams
One more night to yearn,
He’s the reason why they say don’t through
pearls before swine
He, he’s the reason why they say love is blind
Take care who you wish for, take care who you choose
Take care for those who’d leave you counting
He’s the reason why they say don’t through pearls before swine
He, he’s the reason why they say love is blind
Take care who you wish for, take care who you choose
Take care for those who leave you counting
One, two, three, yeah you lied to me
Four five six seven, no all dogs don’t go to heaven
Eight nine, ten, uh-uh, won’t be doing that again
But for now, but for night, but for now
Desires burn away
And one more night to burn,
One more night to burn
One more night to burn
One more night to burn
One more night to burn

Say-aye-aye you love me
Say-aye-aye you do
Say your world won’t turn without me
Say you love me true, boy
Say you love me
Say you do
Say your world won’t turn without me
Say you love me true
For as long as trees grow reaching for the sun
As long as, blue jays fly south in the
wintertime As long as, little boys chase
little girls round, round, round, round
school yard, playgrounds
I – I, I do I – I, oh. L- ove.
Oo-oo baby, I ya yay a yay a aya yi I do
Come on boy Say-aye-aye you love me
Say-aye-aye say you do
Say your world won’t turn without me
Say you love me true
For as long as rivers flow down
mountains to the sea
As long as moon-lit beaches draw you
close to me
As long as, little boys chase little girls
round, round, school yard, playgrounds
I – I, I do I – I, oh. L- ove.
Oo-oo baby,
I ya yay a yay a aya yi

Ey brother, ey brother, ey brother, ey, hey,hey
Come over here throw that bebop rhythm our way.
You can’t cross that red line to play downtown.
but the Black and Tan is the Emerald City’s
hottest stage
Quincy and Ray – play every eye on stage
While Ernestine sings her heart with style and grace
And the jams they go - And the jams they go
- And the jams they go on - all night
No matter how dark your skin you can step
up into, into this light
Ey brother, ey brother, ey brother, ey, hey, hey
I’m talking to you.
Don’t you dare give up on your dreams no
matter - no way
Gate-keepers slam one door in your face
but God’s gonna bust open another, another, in its place
So come on; add, add, add to the legacy
We’re the creators at the very root of it
Louis there for all to see
Sunrise, sunrise, sunsets - one-hundred years
go by and we’re still giving our best
As long as we can play, and son you can play,
you can play!
Instrumental Solo
Basie & Parker take turns lightin’ the stage
Unfortunately, Fever’s Little Willie won’t be in the place
And the jams they go - And the jams they go
And the jams they go on - all night
No matter how dark your skin you can step up into, this light, hey hey
Ey brothers, ey brothers, ey brothers, ey, hey, hey
I’m talking to you
Come over here throw that bebop rhythm our way
That red line’s still there after all this time
But we’re still givin it our best – long as we
can play – and son you can play - hey, hey
Ey Brothers, ey, hey hey
Ey Brothers, ey, hey hey
Ey brothers, Hey………

But I Do
05:17

I don’t want to wake up in dread of the day
When I could be counting my blessings instead
I don’t want to feel like the sky’s only gray
When the sun smiling too upon my face
But I do. Yeah, yeah, I do
But I do. But I do. But I do – cause I’m not over you.
I don’t won’t to imagine trouble around every bend
Look through eyes of distrust at every man
I don’t want to be the woman easily undone, undone, undone
Thin skinned impatient with everyone
But I do…Yeah, yeah, I do
But I do. But I do. But I do – cause I’m not over you.
My, my my, my friends say hey, hey girl you
know you ought to let it go
He’s not, He’s not worth your heart being twisted so, and I wish
I could heed what they say
Cause I would; if I could
But I do, what I do, what I do – cause I’m not
over you.
Ey boy I don’t know how you can stand yourself
You know you’re wrong when your own
mother calls you a fool
What’s worse is what she says about me for
loving, trusting, givin’-givin’-givin’ you my all
And here we stand at the end of the road
Glady I’ll take whichever path you’re not on
Angry, and I won’t lie about how I feel
Cause that’s no way to heal, and though one
day you’ll be just a vague memory
Right now all I see
Is I do what I do, what I do, what I do, and I
Say, and I say what I say, what I say, and I
Feel, and I feel - how I feel
And I do what I do, what I do, what I do, what
I do, what I do cause I’m not over you
I’m not over you
I’m not over you
I’m not over you, hey hey
Hey boy, yea yea yea yea
Hey boy,
Hey boy,
Hey boy
I’m not over you, yet

Red Dress
04:25

Listen.
When I got my red dress on – don’t get in
my way.
It’s going to be a take-no-prisoners day
Leaping tall buildings, in a single bound
Dropping old and young men’s jaws to the ground
When I got my red dress on the power’s mine
Feeling it coursing through my veins
Boardroom bedroom beyond I play to win
With the finesse, only a woman can wield
Morning contemplations standing at my closet door
I am choosing that look that defines how I feel
When confidence is the rule for the day
You’ll find me wrapped in red in a pair of Jimmy Choo –
Red lipstick too, Uh-huh, Uh-huh
Ba bay -baby got my red dress on
Don’t worry I only use my powers for good
Ba bay -baby got my red dress on
Don’t worry baby,
I only use these powers for good
I like black its sexy
I love white its bold and innocent
Yet you’ll find me wrapped in red in a pair
of Jimmy Choo -
Red lipstick too, uh-huh, uh-huh
Ba ba ba-baby got my red dress on
Don’t worry baby - I only use these powers for good
Ba ba ba-baby got my red dress on
Don’t worry baby - I only use my powers for good
Ba ba ba-baby got my red dress on
Don’t worry baby, don’t worry baby, don’t worry baby
I’ll be…I’ll be good

Skipping Under Starlight
05:19

I said, I’d never fall in love again.
Remember?
I said, with love I’m over it done, done
Sad. True.
These days my eyes tell a different story
And my face, my face glows like I’ve been
Skipping under starlight, hanging onto moon beams, grinning from ear to ear
Like I, floated up a rainbow.
Slid down the other end.
Landed in my very own – the heart that loves me
Isn’t funny how it hits you – out of nowhere
Like baseball bat to the back of the head
A little bit of, Bonnie Raitt’s Nick of Time
mixed with Kelly’s Singing in the Rain.
Still…ooo the heart wants, what it wants.
Can’t stop feeling like skipping under
starlight, hanging onto moon beams
grinning from ear to ear
Like I, floated up a rainbow.
Slid down the other end –
Landed in your very own – the heart that loves me
Funny how it hits you out of nowhere
Like baseball bat to the back of the head
A little bit of, Bonnie Raitt’s Nick of Time
mixed with Kelly’s Singing in the Rain.
Still…. ooo the heart wants, what it wants.
Can’t stop feeling like
Skipping under starlight,
hanging onto moon beams
Grinning from ear to ear
Like I, floated up a rainbow.
Slid down the other end –
landed in my very own – the heart that loves you
La la la la, la la la la la la
Now love’s got you singing, hey hey
La la la la, la la la la oh oh
Now love’s got you
Skipping under starlight, hanging onto
moon beams, grinning from ear to ear
Floated up a rainbow.
Slid down the other end; landed in my
very own –
the heart that loves
the heart that loves
the heart that loves you

The Gift of Life
04:27
|
|||
|
Looking back at what seems so very long
ago A body strong; a life of possibilities
Illness robbed me; put a lock on all my dreams
Now await a stranger’s gift to set me free
As the days go by
I feel my life fading
Seasons ever changing
Wishing time stood still
I don’t know how I got stuck with such a
burden Await a stranger’s compassion to rescue me
The leaves are falling down; like memories
Regret the things I’ve left undone
The life I haven’t lived
As the days go by – I feel myself fading
Watching seasons revolution
Wishing time stood still
I don’t know how I got stuck with such a
burden Now awaiting a stranger’s
compassion to rescue me
I want to run, to play, to live my life
I promise I’ll leave no stone unturned
I’ll be all I was meant to be
As the days go by – I feel my life’s fading
Hoping, praying, waiting
Wishing time stood still
I don’t know how I got stuck with such a burden
Now awaiting a stranger’s
compassion to rescue me
I want to run, to play, to live my life
I promise to leave no stone unturned
Love be loved grow and learn
I promise to be all I was meant to be
Run, play, live my life
I promise to leave no stone unturned
Love, be loved, grow and learn
I promise to be all that I can be with the
gift of life, with the gift of life
