Yardbird Suite Lyrics - Miles Davis

charlie parker tune: Eddie Jefferson arrangement) 

Verse I 

------- 

What is the Musical topic, of the Day? 

Bebop so the critic's say, well that was ok! 

Who were the originators, do you know? 

Yardbird and Dizzy tell me, I think it's quite so. 

Chorus 

------ 

Now I'm just holding thumbs (?) like, Toscaninni and La Cost (?) 

Well, as long as I'm hip to it, I think I'm hipper to the how, 

explain it to the folks... 

Verse II 

-------- 

Bebop my friends was just a whole lotta fun! 

You could take any old riff, and make a real long run.
