Bring the lights down low, right now for the show, jazz in a tuxedo
Don’t bash my drum, touch of my thumb got such a delicate feel
If you’re here tonight dressed for a fight, you can take your leave
Only those in correct attire will be admitted to a seat
It’s a swift goodbye, if you won’t comply, we’ve kept our integrity
That’s the reason why nothing beats jazz in a tuxedo for me

Decades from conception, no invention like this motto rings true
If it ain’t broke don’t fix it is advice I’d recommend to you
Sheer excitement, air of refinement, live right here on stage
Improvising, mesmerising, any moment a mistake could be made
The standard is high, no alibi for lack of musicality
That’s the reason why nothing beats jazz in a tuxedo for me
