Lyric

Some folks say 
the big band sound is the only sound 
but that sentiment 
gets some resentiment 
from the cats and chicks who like a trio 
and Satchmo say 
there's only two kinds of music: 
good and bad 

Some folks say 
Hollywood style is the only style 
but that opinion 
ain't shared by the minions 
of the cats and chicks who like the Savoy 
well Satchmo say 
there's only two kinds of dancing: 
good and bad 

Now there ain't no doubt 
Kyle B is in and Kenny G is out 
Hey I gotta say 
there's black and white in every shade of gray 

Some folks say 
the way they play is the only way 
but that's a fallacy 
modern malice jazznocracy 
that the cats and chicks won't dig tomorrow 
well Satchmo say 
there's only two kinds of playing 

Satchmo, Satchmo say 
there's only two kinds of dancing 
there's only two kinds of playing 
there's only two kinds of music: 
good and bad
