Jimmy Smith - Jimmy Smith Rap lyrics

[Jimmy Smith] Good God Almighty, like back in the old days You know, years ago they had the A&R men To tell you what to play, how to play it And you know, whether it's disco or rock But we just told Bruce that we wanted to straighten that jazz out And so we got the fellas together Grady Tate, Ron Carter, George Benson, Stanley Turrentine Stanley was coming off a cool jazz festival Ron was coming off a cool jazz festival And we just went in the studio and we did it We had the champagne in the studio, of course You know, compliments of the company And we just laid back and did it Also, Grady Tate's wife brought us down some home cooked chicken And we just laid back and we was chomping on chicken and having a ball Jazz is the only real music that's gonna last All that other bullsh** is here today and gone tomorrow But jazz was, is and always will be We may not do this sort of recording again And I may not get with the fellas again George, Ron, Grady Tate, Stanley Turrentine So we hope you enjoy listening to this album half as much as we enjoyed playing it for you Because we had a ball
