Scenes from a Jazz Club

(Verse 1) It's Saturday evening, we're taking the stage A usual schedule, the crowd is set to engage Albert, the club manager, gave us a warm smile He said, "Last week was great, so tonight, make it worthwhile" Our hearts beat faster, but music is our cure My bandmates gave me a nod to reassure We're beginning to play, suddenly it feels right Let’s give them an unforgettable night (Chorus) Na-na-na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na (Verse 2) Midnight is approaching, bright and still is the moon We're playing another number, this time a slow tune Take a look at those two lovebirds, living their life Swaying to the melody, maybe soon man and wife They met here last month, a moment to remember Love blossomed in a lovely and quiet December Though the future might be uncertain, they still believe Whatever will be, love will never leave (Chorus) Na-na-na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na (Verse 3) There's a man near the back with a fedora Just earned a new rank, Detective Cole and his aura "Isn't that the cop from the news?", say the folks around As he sips his drink, hoping justice will be found A former marine who fought in the Second World War Returned as a hero, though his mistakes made him sore But he's here to unwind, not to regret what he's done Maybe tonight, he won't pull out his gun (Chorus) Na-na-na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na (Verse 4) By the bar, sits a man looking gloomy and sad A drink in his hand, who knows how many he's had Used to act on movie sets, now those days are no more I heard he also lost his love, a bond they once swore He lets himself drown into the moody music The emptiness inside his heart made him feel too sick I wish I could see whatever is on his mind Hopefully, darkness is not what he'll find (Chorus) Na-na-na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na-na
