Lyrics

Jazz is makin' do with 'taters and grits
Standin' up each time you get hip
Jazz ain't nothin' but soul
Jazz is livin' high off nickels and dimes
Telling folks 'bout what's on your mind
Jazz ain't nothin' but soul
Soul, soul, soul (jazz ain't nothin' but soul)
Soul, soul, soul (jazz ain't nothin' but soul)
Trumpets, cassettes, saxophone
Rhythm, makin' love
People wearin' fancy clothes
It's the voice of my people
For me, jazz is all the truth to be found
Never mind who's puttin' it down
Jazz ain't nothin' but soul
Jazz is makin' do with 'taters and grits
Standin' up each time you get hip
Jazz ain't nothin' but soul
Jazz is livin' high off nickels and dimes
Telling folks 'bout what's on your mind
Jazz ain't nothin' but soul
Trumpets, cassettes, saxophone
Rhythm, makin' love
People wearin' fancy clothes
It's the voice of my people
For me, jazz is all the truth to be found
Never mind who's puttin' it down
Jazz ain't nothin' but soul
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Soul, soul, soul
Soul, soul, soul
Soul, soul, soul
