Clever Clever Jazz

I'm still nervous on the way to the bar
 We rehearsed a sec in the back of the car
 Fingers moving along with the tape
 We made last night at the practice space
 I hope my friends will come tonight
 So they can see what I am really like
 Clever, clever jazz, man
 Sorry that doesn't sound like it's planned
 Clever, clever jazz, man
 Can't you see, we're doing the best that we can?
 Stop shouting, play what you know
 And let us get on with the show
 Clever, clever jazz band
 I'm sorry that it doesn't sound like it's planned
 They say it's worse if
 They can tell you're nervous
 You can say 'amature hour' but you'd be wrong
 We played for nine minutes, we got two songs
 Clever, clever jazz, man
 I'm sorry it doesn't sound like it's planned
 Clever, clever jazz, man
 Can't you see, we're doing the best that we can?
 Stop shouting, play what you know
 And let us get on with the show
 Clever, clever jazz band
 We're working in a genre you don't understand

 Sorry that it doesn't sound like it's planned

 Stop shouting, play what you know
