woke up in the afternoon
feeling groggy
memories of last night
feinting kind of foggy
like the mary jane
I put the needle to the record
John Coltrane could wake the brain
when he blessed it
Get dressed in, nothing but the freshest attire
cause when I hit the streets
broads screetch like a tire
Hope on the bus
grab a seat in the rear
turn up the Jaco Pastorius in my ears
Chorus:
Sex Drugs and Jazz Music
For your ears
Jazz Music
For your ears
Sex Drugs and Jazz Music
For your ears
Follow your ears
I need to cop more kush
so I push on past
all the hipsters in the coffee shop
on Bedford ave
meet my boy at his pad on north sixth
pound to the bar
and a quarter on icky sticks
movin' on I make
my way to the bodega
quick chit chat with a kit kat
cause I'm a playa
but no time to waste
so post haste
I bought some papers
for these vapors that I chase
Chorus
with my mind kinda blue
from bitches brew
I flew through a slew of strap-
hanging strangers to the venue
no line to wait on
for playing a horn
for a cool quartet
ya bet, it'll be on
a drink and a wink for a girl at the bar
she's a sexy little mink
but got a thing for the guitar
so I leave it alone
and hit em of with the swing
in the flavor of C major
when I do my thing
Chorus:
I stepped off the stage
after chopping it down
and met a queen from a dream
said she'd see my sound
I said I'm down
why don't we blow this joint
and go, light one up
and just get right to the point
turn out the light and ignite the dark cue
listen to some Mingus
and do how we do
she said she was shook
after the first song
so she was on my hook
until the break of dawn
Sex Drugs and Jazz Music
Sex Drugs and Jazz Music
Just for your ears
Cause all you've got to do
Is just follow your ears
Music, Jazz Music
