What Goes Around Comes Around

Lyrics

It was cool in the fifties scattin' to
 jazz and be-bop
 It was the sound they were throwin' down
 From LA to New York and
 in every town
 And with the rhythm in your souls
 Add a hip-hop and bop n'
 just so ya know
 This thing it's back swing is king,
 call it New Jack
 (Chorus)
 What goes around, comes around
 (And that's the way it goes)
 What goes around comes around and
 comes around
 Like that, a riff and a rhythm
 What goes around, comes around
 (And that's the way it goes)
 What goes around, comes around
 Like that, like that
 Round, round and round
 round we go
 Round, round and round
 round we go
 People stomped in the cities
 jumpin' to the groove of the music
 They rocked and jammed
 with the hipster clan
 In the clubs, in the streets
 and on every beat
 And with the be-bop in their souls
 They took the swing thing and
 started to roll
 And now it's a fact a little hip-hop
 and bop has found a way back
 (Repeat Chorus)
 Be-bop, hip-hop,
 hep hop don't stop
 Be-bop, hip-hop,
 add pop don't stop
 (Rap)
 Bix he had a bag of tricks
 Parker came along exactly when
 he changed the mix
 Sax made a bang,
 Monk made a change
 And be-bop laid the tracks
 for the Coltrane
 They were getting busy,
 a trumpet pumped
 Your head got Dizzy and
 you started to bump
 They had a style,
 beat was the backbone
 You could see for Miles,
 Mr. Philly Joe Jones
 You may not realize swing
 was here before
 Because it's disguised and we've
 added so much more
 The time is now to show you how
 to get the groove into your shoes
 (Repeat Chorus)
 Round, round and round
 round we go
 Round, round and round
 round we go
 (Repeat)
 What goes around and round
 Must come around and around
 (Repeat)
