Bebop, bebop, bebop, dewop, boo,
The sound form that changed jazz.
Bird was there, to create this sound.
They didn’t understand the music,
Well the oldies don’t when new sounds
Come from the young.
But Charlie and Dizzy drove this sound
Into the fast paced chromatic music,
That I can listen to for hours.
Bebop, so new, so different, so clever.
Bebop a form that is now so old;
Came to us sixty years ago,
A sound that showed that change
Is not all bad.
Bebop, showed the way to many jazz forms.
Cool jazz, that most melancholic of sounds
Was born through the power of bebop.
Bebop showed that music is freedom.
