Lyrics of

Parker's band

	
Savoy Sides presents a new saxaphone sensation
It's Parker's band with a smooth style of syncopation
Kansas City born and growin', you won't believe what the boys are blowin'

You got to come on, man, and take a piece of Mister Parker's band

You'll be ridin' by bareback on your armadillo
You'll be groovin' high or relaxin' at Camarillo
Suddenly the music hits you; it's a bird in flight that just can't quit you

You got to come on, man, and take a piece of Mister Parker's band

We will spend a dizzy weekend smacked into a trance
Me and you will listen to a little bit of what made the preacher dance

Bring your horn along and you can add to the pure confection
And if you can't fly you'll have to move in with the rhythm section
Either way you're bound to function; Fifty-Second Street's the junction

You got to come on, man, and take a piece of Mister Parker's
Clap your hands and take a piece of Mister Parker's
Come on, man, and take a piece of Mister Parker's band
