Dr. Jazz Dr. Jazz  
Bake my jelly roll  
You quicken my pulse  
You make my rhythm slow  
Crawfish gumbo  
Rhythm from the jungle  
Big chief rocking  
I follow the voodoo king  
Oolamalawaladollar  
That’s what the fez he sing

Let’s bungle in the jungle — well, that’s all right by me.  
I’m a tiger when I want love,  
but I’m a snake if we disagree.

There’s a princess named Celeste  
Eyes like fire her hairs a mess  
Incense burning my luck is turning  
I can’t tell but I’m under her spell

Occasion, persuasions clutter your mind  
Incense and peppermints, the color of time.

I feel my heart start to trembling  
Whenever you’re around

The blacksmith and the artist  
Reflect it in their art  
They forge their creativity  
Closer to the heart

A blacksmith courted me, nine months or better  
He fairly won my heart, wrote me a letter  
With his hammer in his hand, he looked so clever  
And if I were with my love, I would live forever

And nothing sure is forever, when forever’s no time at all  
As I lie amongst the heather bed, high above the ocean’s roar  
I seem to hear my name being called, yet who am I waiting for?

I’m waiting for my man  
Twenty six dollars in my hand  
Up to Lexington, Onto Five  
Feel sick and dirty, more dead than alive

He said there’s nothing I can prescribe  
To keep your raunchy bag of bones alive  
I got some money  
Give me one more shot  
He said I’d like to help you son  
I said Thanks a lot.

There’s a hole in daddy’s arm  
Where all the money goes  
Jesus Christ died for nothing  
I suppose  
Little pitchers have big ears  
Don’t stop to count the years  
Sweet songs never last too long  
On broken radios

Heard a lot of talk about this Jesus  
A man of love, and a man of strength  
But what a man was two thousand years ago  
means nothing at all to me today

Jesus was a Capricorn, he ate organic foods.  
He believed in love and peace and never wore no shoes.  
Long hair, beard and sandals and a funky bunch of friends.  
Reckon they’d just nail him up if He come down again.

Sail on home to Jesus, won’t you good girls and boys  
I’m all in pieces, you can have your own choice  
But I can hear a heavenly band full of angels  
And they’re coming to set me free  
I don’t know nothing ’bout the why or when  
But I can tell that it’s bound to be

Jesus don’t want me for a sunbeam  
Sunbeams are not made like me  
Don’t expect me to cry  
For all the reasons you have to die  
Don’t ever ask your love of me

Well this song was written  
In New York City  
A rich man, preacher and slave  
Well if Jesus was to teach here  
What he teached in Gallilee  
They would lay Jesus Christ in his grave

I did not put you here to suffer  
I did not put you here to whine  
I put you here to love one another  
And to get out and have a good time
