Bourbon street jazz band silhouette
With the finest sounds you’ll never regret
Blown out in syncopation
Yearned for in the greatest anticipation
Yearned for like an aural comfort food
That nourishes my soul while sounding so good
It’s a lyrical pursuit of gingered finger snaps
Electrified into meaningful steel toed taps
Cakewalked into moments of sympathy
Played out whether solo or in symphony
There is just within the band’s dark shadow
That beat that hits me like a tale that tattles
Just like the very first day I heard in silhouette
That funky sound that I know I’ll never regret
