He looked to the left
and saw his saxaphone
he picked it up
and began to play
the rhythm and beat
and sound of the tune
made all of them
every single lady
swoon
he stood up and played
making the audience tap their feet
though
not all was right
because of his intrusion
upon his exclusion
from his job
of which we denied
the owner of the shop
the shop of rock and pop
did not want jazz to come to town
so he made an effort
to prevent this man
from spreading the jazz around town
he loaded his gun
to spoil some fun
but instead
Mr. Jazz started to play
his tune moved the man
so much that his hand
seemed to let go of the gun
all was well, until it went to hell
in the civil war Mr. Jazz was done in
because of his race, he was put out of play
by some hate crime
that should never be replayed
though his memory lives on
his beat and his song
on the corner
of the town in which he played
END
