lyrics

Sweet, sweet as
I’m gonna make a living outta Jazz
I bought some shades and a little hat and I’ve started calling everybody ‘Cat’, I’m sweet, sweet as

oops, my bad
shoulda said I don’t play anything trad
They say I sound a lot like Bird but I play more notes from what I’ve heard I’m sweet, sweet as

My style is pretty random it’s post-modern retro cool
what everyone calls avant-garde I tell them is old-school
I don‘t go much on melody and harmony’s a bore
don’t bother tryin’ to tap your foot
it’s all in seven-four

but it’s sweet, sweet as
gonna make a living outta jazz
so I smoke a pipe and drink Pernod, and tell ‘em I’m waiting for Godot, I’m sweet, sweet as

So chill, relax
or better still, chillax!
I’ll take you out on a sonic cruise, you’ll dig my cool thirteen-bar blues, it’s sweet, sweet as

I’m happening, I’m in the loop, I’m hip, I’m de rigeur
in my Che Guevara T-shirt and my Cuba St hauteur
I’m careful where I’m seen it’s got to have my kind of class
so I hang out at the Lido, order water by the glass

I’m sweet, sweet as
gonna make a living outta jazz
so far this year I haven’t made a cent, but hey that’s ok, Mum pays the rent, I’m sweet, sweet as
