There's somethin' in the water, there's somethin' in the air
A little kind of magic that just appears
Like the sound of a saxophone from the upstairs room
It's the spirit of jazz, it's comin' through
It takes me over, I just can't stop
I'm like an old jazz player, scattin' in the barbershop
Gonna feel the rhythm, the rhythm of life
Get lost in the music 'til it feels just right
I hear the music callin' me
I got jazz on my mind, I'm tellin' you
When I hear that beat, I'm singin' it too
If you wanna find me, baby, you know where I'll be
Jazz is gonna take me there, it's takin' me
This old world's a mess, but I'm feelin' so blessed
'Cause I got that feelin', a sweet caress
I hear the sounds, the rhythm, and the beat
Like an old soul woman tappin' her feet
They say that jazz is dead, but I know that's a lie
It's all around, and it's right here inside
All you gotta do is close your eyes
You can feel it, you can hear it, it's comin' alive
I hear the music callin' me
I got jazz on my mind, I'm tellin' you
When I hear that beat, I'm singin' it too
If you wanna find me, baby, you know where I'll be
Jazz is gonna take me there, it's takin' me
The spirit of jazz is alive and well
It's in my heart and soul, you can hear it swell
Like a fever that's burnin', I'm burnin' hot
Like a sweet jazz band, I've got the lot
And all the old jazz cats are gatherin' 'round
The old New Orleans sound
