We’re gonna tell you a story
About the Beat
It comes from the heart
And it moves the feet

Now the Beat was born in Africa
It came with the slaves to America
The Beat kept moving it could not stop …..yeah!
From the bottom to the top …..yeah!
Something was brewing in the pot …..yeah!
Mix it up and see what we got!
Harmony and melody from the West …..yeah!
Add it to the Beat and give it a test …..yeah!
A little bit o’ blues and Satchmo’s horn
They couldn’t keep still when JAAAAAZZ WAS BORN!
