Generate meaning
1
Once a mockingbird - he was overheard
2
Singing out a word - to a cattle herd,
3
'All you bovine creatures - dig what I'm layin' down!
4
All you sinners drop everything.
5
Everything
6
Let the melody and the harmony ring.
7
Let it ring
8
Lift arms up to Heaven and sing.
9
Ring-a-ding
10
Sing you sinners, won't you sway & swing
11
What a thing
12
Start with clapping' y'hands all about.
13
All about
14
Don't be silent - Let the Lord hear y'shout
15
Shout it out
16
And just let the music come out
17
Of yer snout
18
Sing you sinners, wontcha' sway & swing
19
Check it out
20
Dig the drift of what I mean
21
In a world where there's no music - Old Scratch
22
Satan gets his kicks - He's up to his tricks
23
He'll be laughing up & down the banks - He, He, He!
24
Of that River Styx
25
You're so wicked, baby, and you're depraved
26
You can rave
27
It's apparent that you have mis-behaved
28
To your grave
29
But if you should want to be saved
30
Jus' behave
31
Take a listen now to the bird
32
Stop all that chewin' yer cud and all that standin' in the mud there.
33
Swing, people! Swing every chortle from yer mortal portal.
34
I dig that everyone believes that cattle prodigies are like a sneeze:
35
Hard blowin', missin one lick of blowin' talent to show.
36
If you sing, you gotta swing
37
Just remember that the day will come
38
When you will just be steak on a plate.
39
Folk, you know it's fate!
40
So dig the music of the swing-o-sphere
41
Before yer swing arrives too late.
42
That's a little too dark.
43
Still, it is true, we've got breath for such a limited time.
44
What are ya', stupid? You cows you'd think to sing was a crime.
45
In defence now, hence now, here comes Adele McCluck:
46
Cheryl's solo)
47
Mrs. Mockingbird, I must say,
48
You haven't heard the friendly bellowing swing
49
Of our friends the cows as they shed their way from Teagarden to Fuller.
50
Instead of spendin' every day just sneakin' around to lift another lick
51
These cats work on their cow-tone
52
So when they get up to blow a
53
Fatter bone-tone
54
Into the ozone.
55
And, furthermore
56
You tweety birds are always singin' away,
57
Never givin' up a thought of what you say.
58
We cows do, shedding takes up most of our day
59
So when we start and settle in to play we can say:
60
A moo is an array of what cows have always known as the best and
61
Only way to play.
62
What we mean to say is
63
Before the band will let you sing
64
Sing with Fletcher Henderson
65
You'd better get yourself to swing
66
Like the Bean or Satch
67
So your horn can blow a single note or two of deeper thinking
68
That's the way to swing
69
So set your mind upon a tone
70
When you're sheddin' all alone
71
And you will have a cornerstone
72
Like the bass trombone
73
Blow your horn and take a bow
74
So that you're swingin' like the cows
75
Pythagoras would be so proud of us.
