Parker's Band

Steely Dan


Savoy Sides presents a new saxaphone sensation 
It's Parker's band with a smooth style of syncopation 
Kansas born and growin' 
You won't believe what the boys are blowin' 

You got to come on, man 
And take a piece of Mister Parker's band 

You'll be ridin' by bareback on your armadillo 
You'll be groovin' high or relaxin' at Camarillo 
Suddenly the music hits you 
It's a bird in flight that just can't quit you 

You got to come on, man 
And take a piece of Mister Parker's band 

We will spend a dizzy weekend smacked into a trance 
Me and you will listen to a little bit of what made the preacherdance 

Bring your horn along and you can add to the pure confection 
And if you can't fly you'll have to move in with the rhythmsection 
Either way you're bound to function 
Fifty-Second Street's the junction 

You got to come on, man 
And take a piece of Mister Parker's 
Clap your hands 
And take a piece of Mister Parker's 
Come on, man 
And take a piece of Mister Parker's band
