Ellamental (Album Version)

Ellamental
Way back take a look she would cook
When they were stompin' at the Savoy
She would blow and they would dance don't you know
It was an uptown kind a show
Cool notes and melodies harmonies
She sang the song of the universe
She can make a joyful noise up to heaven
And call the angels down to the earth
From jazz to swing to be bop
She kept the spirit alive
For Bo Duke Dizzy and Miles
She spoke her mind
She's Ellamental to the art
She spoke her mind
She's Ellamental to the art
Too hot until the dawn she sang on
When joints were jumping and jive was in
Bodies moving back and forth to the rhythm
Ever since Ella first did her thing
From jazz to swing to be bop
She brought emotions and moves
She kept the spirit alive
She spoke her mind
Act like ya know Oh
Was it the smooth tones that was so much like butter
Oh Ella was singing just like no other singer
Cause you know I be the funky bringer of the new style
Because I be the wild child
Listening to hip hop listening to be bop and jazz
Ella made you move that a*s
Sensation for the people inspiration for the sisters and brothers
Smooth jazz for the midnight lovers
Savoy was the spot for shaking on your rump and
Ella made it hopping
Got the joint jumping remembering you 'til the dawn
Because Ella your memory goes on
She spoke her mind
Yeah and it just don't stop
She's Ellamental to the art
The memory goes on and on 'cause it just don't stop
She spoke her mind
Yeah jazz to the bebop
She's Ellamental to the art
She spoke her mind
Yeah much love
She spoke her mind
