Rock 'n' Roll Star
Once I was a rock 'n' roll star
With a blazin' guitar,
Lit by pulsing lights and a smokey stage
Blonde girls, Birds with flyin' wings
Risin' to hear me sing, to touch and feel my strings
Once I was a rock 'n' roll star
But only in an old boy's dreams
Now I have been reborn to jazz
The grace of Coltrane
The Spirit of Charlie Bird
The soulfulness of Miles
I am a Good Man now,
I embrace the beauty of jazz when I listen to its reverent sound
But when I sleep, I still dream I was a boy,
...and command every time...
Oh Jazz Man Masekala!! Play your South African Trumpet like a rock 'n' roll star. With my electric guitar we play loud to Byrds with flyin' wings!
