[Verse 1]
He lives where the music stops at night
No sweet melodies or lullabies fill the air
Everyday he's on the same old grind
Living for the job, years are passing by
And he goes running all around town
Until the sun goes down
Missing all of the sounds
Of life, and that's just not right

[Chorus]
So I said let me take you down
I'll take you down to the Jazz Festival, the Jazz Festival
Let me take you down
I'll take you down to the Jazz Festival, the Jazz Festival

[Verse 2]
He's unsure of how to sing or dance
But I think it's a crime to not give it a chance
I told him baby it's not that complicated
Don't worry about what they'll say, forget about it
I hear a rhythm playing beautiful sounds of art
It's the sound of the beat that you're making down in your heart
And he paused for a moment, to hear if I was right
Listening for the music of life
[Chorus]
And he said, won't you take me down, take me down
To the Jazz Festival, the Jazz Festival?
Won't you take me down, take me down
To the Jazz Festival, the Jazz Festival?
