Ornithology-Charlie Parker

They say that Bird was really quite a genius The way he played the saxophone was unknown Was truly ahead of his time Played with a passion that was totally true Stated in a fashion that was totally new A master of the rhythm and blues He would stay our every night and he'd play He made bop into a language today Bird really put his soul into his music Every note that Parker blew was so true You knew he was talking to you Now everybody wants to study bird Play everything he wrote and spread the word This music really has to be heard Study Ornithology & you will hear the quality of Bop
