And the Melody Still Lingers On (A Night in Tunisia)

Together they grew
The Duke and the Prez were there before
A long time ago in the 40’s

And the melody remains the same
In the 40’s, a night in Tunisia
Max and miles to name just two

And the melody remains the same
In the 40’s, a night in Tunisia
And the melody still lingers on
The music was young and strong
And the melody still lingers on
The, the melody still lingers on
They called it a night in Tunisia
The torch is lit, we’ll keep the flame

No one could stop the winds of change
The torch is lit, we’ll keep the flame
Without them where’d we be?
Few could play along
Blew the squares right off the stage
In the 40’s, a night in Tunisia
It was new and very strange

They called it a night in Tunisia
The past you can’t ignore
They paved the way for generations
The Duke and the Prez were there before
And the melody still lingers on
The past you can’t ignore

Dizzy and bird gave us this song
From Coltrane to Stevie
