Well you know I've got swinging on my mind
I know it doesn't make any reason or rhyme
But that’s how it goes, that's the way I like to spend my time

Not into the classical, it's much too tame for me
All those strict parameters, I don't get it can't you see
Just give me the jazz and the blues and let me be

Not into rock, it's much too loud and rough,
I'm not that kind a gal, can’t get into that type of stuff
Just let me have the blues and jazz, and that would be more than enough

break

I’ve even tried country, not too far from singing the blues
I love those banjos and those stories so full of truths
But I got my preferred music, keeping me nimble and so loose
