Song Lyrics

There's a guy
You ought to know
He can really play a saxophone
He's from Chicago
He recorded a song, that made
A big fuss
On Vee Jay Records
Call Exodus
Eddie Harris, Eddie who
Eddie Harris, Eddie who

He introduced
The electric saxophone
He invented a reed mouthpiece
For the trumpet and the trombone
He experimented with his career
He started fusion music
With a song
Called Listen Here
Eddie Harris, Eddie who
Eddie Harris, Eddie who

He wrote a song
That had musicians in a trance
Miles Davis recorded it
Freedom Jazz Dance
Then he went to Switzerland
And recorded Cold Duck
While Les McCann
Was singing Compared to What
Eddie Harris, Eddie who
Eddie Harris, Eddie who

He's been singing about
Money, luck and overweight too
He's written five books on what he can do
Now he's scat singing
And people don't understand
It's a mixture of black street talk and African
Eddie Harris, Eddie who
Eddie Harris, Eddie who

My name is Eddie Harris
I've got some of your records man
Thank you
I remember when you used to play with Count Basie
That was Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis
My name is Eddie Harris
I've got one of your videos jack
That was Eddie Murphy
My name is Eddie Harris
I remember when you used to record the blues
That was Eddie "Cleanhead" Vincent
My name is Eddie Harris
Eddie Harris
Eddie who
Eddie Harris
Eddie who
Eddie who
My name is Eddie Harris
Eddie who
Eddie who
Eddie Harris man, my name is Eddie Harris

Eddie Harris
