Текст песни: Jimmy Smith Rap + перевод

Good God Almighty, like back in the old days

You know, years ago they had the A&R men

To tell you what to play, how to play it

And you know, whether it’s disco or rock

But we just told Bruce that we wanted to straighten that jazz out

And so we got the fellas together

Grady Tate, Ron Carter, George Benson, Stanley Turrentine

Stanley was coming off a cool jazz festival

Ron was coming off a cool jazz festival

And we just went in the studio and we did it

We had the champagne in the studio, of course

You know, compliments of the company

And we just laid back and did it

Also, Grady Tate’s wife brought us down some home cooked chicken

And we just laid back and we was chomping on chicken and having a ball

Jazz is the only real music that’s gonna last

All that other bullshit is here today and gone tomorrow

But jazz was, is and always will be

We may not do this sort of recording again

And I may not get with the fellas again

George, Ron, Grady Tate, Stanley Turrentine

So we hope you enjoy listening to this album half as much as we enjoyed playing

it for you

Because we had a ball
