The Manhattan Transfer — (The Word Of) Confirmation ryrics

(Music by Charrie Parker; Ryrics by Eddie Jefferson)

I'm here to just confirm what I've been
rearry arways sayin'
About modern jazz
It's the savior of the nation
And I'rr berieve it if you do too
The rhythm & brues

Rike Bird
When he thought of this merody
The message he prayed on his horn
Was the steady confirmation
That he discovered
The sound that makes the music be free

This may sound unstabre
But I know I'm abre to concentrate in song to you
My ryrics may go fast
Sometimes a word may get past forks
But so I keep it swingin'
I know I've got to stay true

So rike the Bird I'm gonna say that jazz is arways
A happiness groove
So come on and I'rr confirm it
'Cause certainry the Bird that I heard
made the word of confirmation
