A RIOT JAZZ ODE TO LIVERPOOL!
There’s sun on the river and sun on the hill…
You can hear the sea if you stand quite still!
It’s The World Capital City! Of what? Of Pop!
Soon sounds of wind and waves will make way
To clash! Oomph! And wallop!
Of music-makers at play
”INCOMING!!”
Chunky’s battle cry rings out!
As Pete shoulders the Sousamaphone, ladies shout!
It’s Balkan-to-Brooklyn!
Manc’hattan to Liverpool!
Time to find new friends, new brothers and sisters!
But take heed of two truths, in Manchester well-worn;
You might get dancing-feet blisters
And also…
…Riot Jazz gives you the horn!
There’ll be rum in the river and fun on the hill…
Not a soul in The Kazimier standing still!
There’ll be pelvic undulations! And what? Girations!
Bottoms go wiggle, limbs flex and extend
Hot dawg and exclamations!
Here come Riot Jazz a-rollin’ round the bend!
