Ellamental Lyrics

Way back, take a look, she would cook 
When they were stompin' at the Savoy 
She would blow, and they would dance, don't you know? 
It was an uptown kind of show 
Cool notes and melodies, harmonies 
She sang the song of the universe 
She can make a joyful noice up to heaven 
And call the angels down to the earth 

From jazz, to swing, to be-bop 
She kept the spirit alive 
For Bo, Duke, Dizzy, and Miles 
She spoke her mind 
She's Ellamental to the art 
She spoke her mind 
She's Ellamental to the art 

Too hot, until the dawn, she sang on 
When joints were jumpin' and jive was in 
Bodies movin' back and forth to the rhythm 
Ever since Ella first did her thing 

From jazz, to swing, to be-bop 
She kept the spirit alive 
For Bo, Duke, Dizzy, and Miles 
She spoke her mind 


Act like ya know, Oh! 
Was it the smooth tones that was so much like butter 
Oh Ella was singin' just like no other singer 
Cause you know I be the funky bringer of the new style 
bacause I be the wild child 
Listenin' to hip-hop, listening to be-bop and jazz 
Ella made you move that a** 
Sensation for the people, inspiration for the sisters and the brothers 
Smooth jazz tones for the midnight lovers 
Savoy was the spot for shakin' on your rump and 
Ella made it hoppin' 
Got the joint jumpin', remembering you 'til the dawn 
Because Ella your memory goes on 

She spoke her mind (yeah...and it just don't stop) 
She's Ellamental to the art (the memory goes on and on... 
cause it just don't stop) 
She spoke her mind (yeah...jazz to the be-bop) 
She's Ellamental to the art 
She spoke her mind ((yeah...much love...) 
She spoke her mind...
