Lyrics
Savoy sides presents a new saxophone sensation
It's Parker's band with a smooth style of syncopation
Kansas city born and growing, you won't believe what the boys are blowin'
You got to come on man and take a piece of Mister Parker's band
You'll be riding by, bareback on your armadillo
You'll be groovin' high or relaxin' at Camarillo
Suddenly the music hits you, it's a bird in flight that just can't quit you
You got to come on man and take a piece of Mister Parker's band
We will spend a dizzy weekend smacked into a trance
Me and you will listen to a little bit of what made the preacher dance
Bring your horn along and you can add to the pure confection
And if you can't fly you'll have to move in with the rhythm section
Either way you're bound to function, 52nd Street's the junction
You got to come on man and take a piece of Mister Parker's
Clap your hands and take a piece of Mister Parker's
Come on man and take a piece of Mister Parker's band
