[00:05:57] 5000 light years from Birdland

[00:05:57] But I'm still preachin' the rythym

[00:05:57] Long gone uptight years from Birdland

[00:05:57] And I'm still teachin' it with 'em

[00:05:57] Years from the land of the Bird

[00:05:57] And I am still feelin' the spirit

[00:05:57] 5000 light years from Birdland

[00:05:57] But I know people can hear it

[00:05:57] Bird named it, Bird made it

[00:05:57] Bird heard it, then played it

[00:05:57] In the middle of that hub

[00:05:57] I remember one jazz club

[00:05:57] Where we went to pat feet

[00:05:57] Down on 52nd Street

[00:05:57] Everybody heard that word

[00:05:57] That they named it after Bird

[00:05:57] Where the rythym swooped and swirled

[00:05:57] The jazz corner of the world

[00:05:57] And the cats they gigged in there

[00:05:57] Were beyond compare

[00:05:57] Birdland, I'm singing Birdland
