Lyrics/Music by Eugenie Jones
Arrangement Peter Adams & Eugenie Jones

lyrics

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………
