(The Word Of) Confirmation - Manhattan Transfer

Im here to just confirm what Ive been

Really always sayin

About modern jazz

Its the savior of the nation

And Ill believe it if you do too

The rhythm &blues

Like bird

When he thought of this melody

The message he played on his horn

Was the steady confirmation

That he discovered

The sound that makes the music be free

This may sound unstable

But I know Im able to concentrate in song to you

My lyrics may go fast

Sometimes a word may get past folks

But so I keep it swingin

I know Ive got to stay true

So like the bird Im gonna say that jazz is always

A happiness groove

So come on and Ill confirm it cause certainly the bird that I heard

Made the word of confirmation
