Ornithology Lyrics

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 todayBird 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
