Little Jazz Bird

(E)Into a cabaret, (D)one fatal day,

a (Bb6)little songbird (D7)flew;

(E)'found it so very gay, (D)he thought he'd stay,

just to (Baug)get (Bb6)a (A7)(D7)(G)bird'seyeview.

When he (Em7)heard the jazz band (A7)playing,

he was (Em7)happy as a (A7)lark;

to each (D)measure he kept (B)swaying and he (A7)stayed til after (D7)dark.

Then (E)back to the land he knew,

(D)thrilled through and through, he (Bb6)sailed on in the (D7)air;

(E)called all the other birds, (D)and in these words,

started (Baug)(Bb6)gurgling (A7)then (D7)and (Bbmaj7)there:

(Ab)I'm a (G)little jazz bird, and I'm (Am)telling you to (D7)be one (E9)too,

for a (G)little jazz bird is in (Am)heaven when it's (D7)singing (F#7)"blue."

(Am)I say it (D7)with regret, (B7)but you're out of (Em)date;

(A7)you ain't heard nothin' yet, till you (D)syncopate.

(D)When the (G)going is rough you will (Am)find your troubles (D7)all have (E9)flown,

if you (G)warble your stuff like the (Am)moaning of a (D7)(G7)saxophone.

(C)Just try my (D)recipe, (B7)and I'm sure you'll (Em)agree (D7)that a (Bm7)little jazz bird is the (Am7)only kind of (Ab7)bird to (Bbmaj7)be!

(Abmaj7)I'm a (G)little jazz bird, and I'm (Am)telling you to (D7)be one (E9)too,

(Am)I say it (D7)with regret, (B7)but you're out of (Em)date;

(A7)you ain't heard nothin' yet, till you (D)syncopate.
