(Verse)

Lift me, won't you lift me

Above the old routine?

Make it nice, play it clean

Jazzman

(Chorus)

When the jazzman's testifyin'

A faithless man believes

He can sing you into paradise

Or bring you to your knees

Jazzman

Oh, jazzman

When the jazzman's testifyin'

A faithless man believes

He can sing you into paradise

Or bring you to your knees

Jazz man

Take my blues away

Make my pain the same as yours

With every change you play

Jazz man

Oh, jazzman
