Riffs

Baby please Fela my Kuti

But don't Jimmy your Smith

Let me just Wes your Montgomery

Lord why can't I ever Ornette my Coleman

Don't you ever Donald my Byrd

If only we could Pharaoh this Sanders

Girl I can't never Bobbi your Humphrey

Why you wanna Chico my Hamilton

Everybody got to Shuggie this Otis

Promise I'll always Fontella your Bass

Listen up while I Mongo your Santamaria

Man I need to Grant some Green

Don't think that I won't Manu your Dibango

Why does everybody always Eugene my Blacknell

C'mon C'mon and Herbie your Hancock

I'm begging you to let me Don your Cherry

I know you want to Sly this Johnson

Without you I just Oscar my Peterson

Brothers never Fred your Wesley

Momma don't ask me to Marlena my Shaw

Sometimes life just Freddie's your Hubbard

People keep on and Matthew your Shipp

And if you Arthur your Russell

I'll Arthur your Verocai

Somebody is always trying to Abbey your Lincoln

But together we can Oliver this Lake

Sister go on and Oscar your Brown

Before you Pete someone's Cosey

And never ever Chucho a Valdez

Don't let anyone Hugh your Maskela

So get up and Bootsy your Collins

Larry your Coryell

And Maceo some Parker

Don't stop til you Orlando some Julius

In the end if we just Cal this Tjader

Then we can forever Eric our Dolphy

Without somebody to Jimmy our McGriff
