Dazzling – sugar beans and firecrackers
Paradise – it's raining pretty peaco*k feathers
On the patio – you dance so funny, oh
But you don't care a thing — It's simply dazzling
Dazzling – Charlie Parker in the speakers
Now's the Time – stepping right out of your sneakers
In the sulfur mist – sweet as any kiss
How the Bird can sing — and it's dazzling
Dazzling – how the paper lanterns glow on everything
Tonight's the matter of the muse who paints the blues
Onto the summer sky of green
It's only everything — and it's only dazzling
Dazzling – in his blue suspenders
Scatting low – to a sea of strangers
To an audience somewhere beyond the fence
Mmm...zadda, zadda zing — oh, he is dazzling
Dazzling – how the paper lanterns glow on everything
Tonight's the matter of the muse who paints the blues
Onto the summer sky of green
It's only everything — and it's only dazzling
Dazzling – firemen line up
Hear the sirens call – somebody's acting up
But who's to say, who rues the day?
You blow a smoky ring and Lord, it's dazzling
Dazzling – the ashes on the tin roof with the
Fireflies, sweet lemon in the ice cubes
The peaco*ks fly, take to the sky
And, oh, the flight's the thing — and, oh, it's dazzling
Dazzling – how the paper lanterns glow on everything
Tonight's the matter of the muse who paints the blues
Onto the summer sky of green
It's only everything — and it's only dazzling
