Midtown Blues WITH LYRICS

Sister Searest:
An easygoing swingin' meter
Pulls your body into the beat

Boyfriend:
An easygoing swingin' sister
One that I've been so glad to meet!

Sister Searest:
I like the way you're singin', mister
You know how to turn up the heat!

Boyfriend:
I like the way you're singin', Sister
Got me on the edge of my seat!

Sister Searest:
Got a knack for jazz
My hat goes off to you
Just like the bars you're layin' down

(Same Time)
BF
Got a knack for rap
SS:
Reprisin', harmonizin'
BF:
No cap
But jazz just pulls me

Paint the town!
BF:
With that classic bluesy sound!
SS:
Just relax
And let the rhythm take you places
Like the midnight express
BF:
I'mma let the rhythm just take me places

Your soul deep in your chest
Is the best when you just let it rest
BF:
Not gonna stress!
SS:
The music takes you down the track
BF:
The music takes me down the track

Keep movin' forward, never back
BF:
And movin' forward, never back

The soulful sound of song's the prize

My love makes me feel whole!
And I've survived the people

The Boyfriend's makin' his name!
I'm always game

(Same Time)
BF:
Even though icy snow
SS:
Struttin' down the promenade
A swing in our step
That warm fuzzy glow
BF:
I feel my toes a-tappin'
Like I never have felt yet!
SS:
Hear the train a-comin'
BF:
Put on a show!
SS:
It's the roar of the party
That don't stop

Hear the train a-comin'
With the sound of the Boyfriend
Who's on top

'Cause we're boppin' to the rhythm
Of the midtown blues

Of the charts!
And the heat you're packin', singin'
SS:
Like a fire that lights the heart

Got me boppin', too!
Man, it's nice to get a break
SS:
And with my band supporting me
I feel I can be
BF:
From people who scream
SS:
Playin' the sound of my dreams
BF:
And threaten all mean
Not lettin' me be
And ride the jazz singer's free melody!
SS:
And ride the jazz singer's free melody!
BF:
Take it away, Sister, buddy!
SS:
The easygoing jazz musician's
Blowin' steam and tootin' the horn

The easygoing jazz musician
SS:
And keepin' people warm
In every set
BF:
Thought me how to blow
And I've sworn
SS:
'Cause the Sister Searest Jazz Quintet's
BF:
To love my girl
And serenade her each chance that I get
SS:
The heppest cats who've every been born
BF:
Your music gives me inspiration;
SS:
We keep alive the Twenties' roar
So don't you sweat it, Boyfriend
BF:
Funky beats I'll adorn
With jazz progressions
SS:
Just kick back
And take a whack
BF:
That I learned from you, I bet
SS:
At sounds you've not
A chance to hear before
BF:
That no one's ever gonna stand between
SS:
Here comes the solo
Tell you what's in store!

My girl and I, our love is never torn!

(Not Same Time)
Boyfriend:
Hey!

Sister Searest:
*Trumpet*

Boyfriend:
Hang on, that's not what you played before!

Sister Searest:
It's OK, improvise on what you know!

Boyfriend:
Hey, Girlfriend!
I'm always gonna be right there
By your side
I'll never hide
The feelings that I got for you
No matter what comes out to face us
I'll sing my heart out
Keep you safe
Hope you trust
That I'm the one
Who'll give you all the love
I've got in my chest
'Cause you are my best friend
And my lover
Let's take it in stride!

(Same Time)
BF:
So, Sister, how'd I do?
SS:
Nice one, B!
BF:
Hey!
SS:
I can tell how much you care
About my sister!
BF:
You can see
Just how much I wanna
Hold and hug and kiss 'er!
SS:
I know you're the perfect guy for G
Treat her right, fancy-free!
BF:
I know I'm the perfect guy for Girlfriend
I'm glad you agree!
SS:
Your funny rappin'
Got me snappin'
Tappin' my foot
To the rhythm that I'm layin' out
BF:
Your jazzy tunes
Just fill the room
With easy-to-follow harmonics
SS:
So take it to the coda, buddy!
BF:
That's what I'm about!
SS:
Twist and shout
Without a doubt
BF:
Let's take it to the coda
SS:
I know that you'll take to heart
BF:
'Cause we got ourselves a blowout!
SS:
The wonders of jazz!
BF:
I'm glad I got to listen
SS:
You're one classy fella
Lemme tell ya
BF:
To the oft-imitated
SS:
Out of the guys that I've seen
BF:
And never-replicated sound
SS:
I trust you most with G
BF:
Of Sister Searest's quintet!
SS:
I know how much to you she means!
BF:
Of course!
I love my girlfriend
SS:
*Trumpet*
BF:
I'd do anything
To keep her away from harm's way
Save the day
Hey, Girlfriend, let me show you the things
I wanna do
To share the care I got for you
I'll always be there where you need me
You have got my heart; believe me
When I tell you you're the love of my life
I'll be there through trouble and strife!
