<b>Birdland</b> by <i>Mrs. Einstein</i><br />Five thousand light years from Birdland

But I'm still preachin' the rhythm

Lone gone up-tight years from Birdland

And I'm still teachin' it with 'em

Years from the land of the Birdland

And I'm still feelin' the spirit

Five thousand light years from Birdland

But I know people can hear 'em

Bird named it, bird made it

Bird heard it, then played it

Well stated

Birdland

It happened down in Birdland

In the middle of that hub

I remember one jazz-club

Where we went to pat feet

Down on Fifty Second street

Everybody heard that word

That they named it after Bird

Where the rhythm swooped and swirled

The Jazz corner of the world

And the cats they gigged in there

Were beyond compare

Birdland, I'm singing Birdland

Birdland, ol' swinging Birdland

Down them stairs, lose them cares, where, down in Birdland

Total swing, Bob was king, there, down in Birdland

Bird would cook, Max would look, where, down in Birdland

Miles came through, Trane came too, there, down in Birdland

Basie blew, Blakey too, where, down in Birdland

Cannon Ball, played that hall, where, down in Birdland, yeah

Bird named it, bird made it

Bird heard it, then played it

Well stated

Birdland

It happened down in Birdland, yeah
