5,000 light years from Birdland But I'm still preaching the rhythm Long-gone, uptight years from Birdland An' I'm still teachin' it with 'em Years from the land of the Bird An' I am still feelin' the spirit 5,000 light years from Birdland But I know people can hear it Bird named it, Bird made it, Bird heard it, then played it Well-stated! Birdland It happened down in Birdland In the middle of that hub I remember one jazz club Where we went to pat feet Down on Fity Secon‘ Street Everybody heard that word That they named it after Bird Where the rhythm swooped and swirled The jazz corner of the world An' the cats they gigged in there Were beyond compare Birdland - I'm singin' Birdland Birdland - Ol' swingin' Birdland Down them stairs, lose them cares - where? Down in Birdland Total swing, bop was king - there Down in Birdland Bird would cook, Max would look - where?
