Vanessa Williams - Ellamental lyrics

rate me

Way backtake a lookshe would cook

When they were stompin' at the savoy

She would blowand they would dancedon't you know ?

It was an uptown kind a show

Cool notes and melodiesharmonies

She sang the song of the universe

She can make a joyful noise up to heaven

And call the angels down to the earth

From jazzto swingto be-bop

She kept the spirit alive

For bodukedizzyand miles

She spoke her mind

She's ellamental to the art

She spoke her mind

She's ellamental to the art

Too hotuntil the dawn she sang on

When joints were jumpin' and jive was in

Bodies movin' back and forth to the rhythm

Ever since ella first did her thing

From jazzto swing to be-bop

She brought emotions and moves

She kept the spirit alive.

She spoke her mind

Act like ya knowoh!

Was it the smooth tones that was so much like butter

Oh ella was singin' just like no other singer

Cause you know I be the funky bringer of the new style

Because I be the wild child.

Listenin' to hip-hoplistening to be-bop and jazz

Ella made you move that ass

Sensation for the peopleinsperation for the sisters and brothers

Smooth jazz for the midnight lovers

Savoy was the spot for shakin' on your rump and

Ella made it hoppin'

Got the joint jumpin'remembering you 'til the dawn

Because ella your memory goes on

She spoke her mind (yeah...and it just don't stop)

She's ellamental to the art (the memory goes on and on...'cause it just don't stop)

She spoke her mind (...yeah..jazz to the bebop)

She's ellamental to the art

She spoke her mind..(yeah...much love...)

She spoke her mind...
