Wish I could sing smooth as Michael Franks
sans autotune or techno pranks
Or play tenor sax pretty as Johnny Coltrane
and listen to Cole Porter all Night & Day
Took a ride out on Jobim's wave
Reeled in the years as per Steely Dan
(Chorus)
Makers of sweet sounds swirling in my mind
Sounds that I love to hear time after time
Sounds that take all my blues far from my mind
They will forever ring in my heart
Straight to my soul from the start
In the corner of the room I hear a tinkling sound
Is Lionel Hampton still groovin' around?
The Duke sold his Satin Doll. Took the "A Train
And Blue Eyes did it his way, Still sounds great today.
Hitting the road with "Jack" Charles
Ray asking me "What I Say"
(Repeat Chorus)
Stepping out with Joe Jackson is such a great treat
and Miami Sound keeps me up on my feet
Assurred by the Tower I' m still a young man
Mr. Fogelberg telling me part of the plan
Les Paul, he showed us how to lay it on down
George Martin gave us fancy sounds
(Repeat Chorus)
