Lyrics

During the episode

Lift me won't you lift me

Above the old routine

Make it nice

Play it clean

Jazzman!

When the Jazzman's testifyin',

A faithless man believes.

He can sing you into paradise,

Or bring you to your knees.

Jazzman, take my blues away,

Make my pain the same as yours with every change you play.

Jazzman, oh, Jazzman.

Reprise

Lisa:

When the Jazzman's testifyin',

A faithless man believes.

He can sing you into paradise,

Or bring you to your knees.

Jazzman, take my blues away,

Make my pain the same as yours with every change you play.

Jazzman, oh, Jazzman.

One more time.

Bleeding Gums Murphy:

Oh, come on, Lisa.

I got a date with Billie Holiday.
