JAZZY PLAYING JAZZ

Twenty five after sixteen
I'll be there right on time
Double margins set at half

Twenty nine at the scene
Not late just delayed
In between that she exhales

Jazz and twisted strawberry licorice
Lemon-lime yellow and company
Cash money green and no silver

A harlot and two whoremongers
Nude to the bone come summer
My only was about church, plan to wed

Jazzy playing jazz
All that offbeat sideways meter
We catch up at the corner
Meeting bass runs after treble clef

Chose three Las Vegas call girls instead
By choice at least knowing what I had
A harlot and two whoremongers

Jazzy playing jazz
Jazzy playing jazz
Jazzy, jazzy, jazzy
Playing jazz, jazzy

Wind section taking up the slack
Soprano's falsetto scattin' beatbox
Pure white teeth dipping snuff

Twelve point five times two
Caught at a traffic light
There waves a checkered flag

Cougars at age thirty three
Early to rise sleeps late
Loves her rowing machine

A harlot and two whoremongers
Nude to the bone come summer
My only was about church, plan to wed

Jazzy playing jazz
All that offbeat sideways meter
We catch up at the corner
Meeting bass runs after treble clef

Chose three Las Vegas call girls instead
By choice at least knowing what I had
A harlot and two whoremongers

Jazzy playing jazz
Jazzy playing jazz
Jazzy, jazzy, jazzy
Playing jazz, jazzy
