The lady says she don't like jazz

You know that seems most peculiar to me

'Cause of all the gifts the lady hás

The one I love just keeps surprising me…

Like when I'm down and in it

It only takes a minute till she finds me

Turns my blue note into a new note

Improvisation, modulation

The lady says she don't like jazz

But I think she might if she knew

Just what a little sponaneity can due

Instrumental

When i'm up against it

She says "now don't get tense, it's

Just your perspective.  take a walk behind it,

I'm sure that you will find it's a

'Trees-for-the-forest' eight bar chorus

The lady don't like jazz (that's what she says)

And I would tend to agree

Except when the lady

Except when the lady

Except when the lady's with me
