[length: 06:01]

[00:18.91] 5000 light years from Birdland
[00:21.48] But I'm still preachin' the rythym
[00:24.80] Long gone uptight years from Birdland
[00:27.84] And I'm still teachin' it with 'em
[00:31.00] Years from the land of the Bird
[00:33.56] And I am still feelin' the spirit
[00:37.17] 5000 light years from Birdland
[00:39.72] But I know people can hear it
[00:43.28] Bird named it, Bird made it
[00:46.14] Bird heard it, then played it
[00:49.28] Well stated Birdland
[00:53.34] It happened down in Birdland
[01:03.46] In the middle of that hub
[01:06.07] I remember one jazz club
[01:09.66] Where we went to pat feet
[01:12.38] Down on 52nd Street
[01:15.43] Everybody heard that word
[01:18.70] That they named it after Bird
[01:21.56] Where the rythym swooped and swirled
[01:24.52] The jazz corner of the world
[01:27.86] And the cats they gigged in there
[01:30.73] Were beyond compare
[01:32.68] Birdland, I'm singing Birdland
