Lyrics
[Intro] [spoken softly]
This is vocalese...
Words riding melodies once played by instruments.
Listen close.
[Intro Scat]
Ba-da lee-ba doo-ba day
Shoo-ba ditty da-ba sway
Bop-dee yip-ba doo-ba line
Now we turn those notes to rhyme
[Verse 1] [vocalese fast swing]
Trumpet took a flight at quarter after nine
Dancing through the changes in a silver spiral line
Every little run became a story I could sing
So I borrowed every heartbeat from the horn’s bright wing
Saxophone was laughing in a language made of air
I caught it with a sentence and I placed it gently there
Now the solo has a suitcase full of poetry and flame
That is how instrumental dreams can learn another name
[Chorus] [smooth swing]
Vocalese, vocalese
Words inside the melodies
Every note can speak with ease
Flying free through vocalese
Take a solo, make it sing
Give the rhythm human wings
Turn a phrase the trumpet frees
Into lines of vocalese
[Verse 2] [faster articulation]
Piano dropped a staircase made of midnight polished keys
I climbed it with a paragraph that floated on the breeze
Bass was walking downtown with a pocket full of time
I followed every footprint and I set it all to rhyme
Drummer brushed a whisper on the corner of the bar
I answered with a consonant that traveled just as far
When the band begins to sparkle and the singer starts to chase
That’s the art of putting language on a lightning-fast phrase
[Bridge] [spoken teacher tone]
Not just scat...
Not just lyrics...
You study the solo...
Then sing the solo... with words.
[Scat Break]
Bee-da bop-da lee-da lay
Shoo-ba zip-ba run away
Diddy-ba-da twist and glide
Now hear language join the ride
[Final Chorus] [bigger energy]
Vocalese, vocalese
Words inside the melodies
Every note can speak with ease
Flying free through vocalese
Take a solo, make it sing
Give the rhythm human wings
Turn a phrase the trumpet frees
Into lines of vocalese
[Outro] [slow smoky finish]
When horns grow quiet after play
Their stories still have much to say
Listen close and you may see...
The voice becomes the melody.
This is vocalese...
Words riding melodies once played by instruments.
Listen close.
