Lyrics

I’m a (G)lit tle jazz bird, and I’m (D7)tell ing you to be one, (G)too,

for a (G)lit tle jazz bird is in (D7)heav en when it’s sing ing (Bm)“blue.”

I say it with re gret,

(G)but you’re (B7)out of (Em)date;

you ain’t seen noth ing yet,

(D)till you (A7)syn co pate.

When the (G)go ing is rough you will (D7)find your trou bles all have (G)flown,

if you (G)war ble your stuff like the (D7)moan ing of a sax o (Bm7)phone.

Just try my rec i pe,

(G)and I’m (B7)sure you’ll a (Em)gree

(A7)that a (G)lit tle jazz bird is the (D7)on ly kind of bird to (G6)be!
