Lyrics:
5,000 light years from birdland But Im still preachin' the rhythm Long-gone, uptight years from birdland An Im still teachin it with em
Years from the land of the bird An I am still feelin' the spirit 5,000 light years from birdland But I know people can hear it
Bird named it, bird made it, bird heard it, then played it Well-stated birdland It happened down in birdland
Oh In the middle of that hub I remember one jazz club Where we went to pat feet Down on fifty-secon street
Everybody heard that word That they named it after bird
Where the rhythm swooped and swirled The jazz corner of the world
An the cats they gigged in there Were beyond compare
Birdland - I'm singin' birdland Birdland - ol swingin' birdland
Hey, man, the music really turns you on Why turn me on, Really, why turn me around And turn me on
Down them stairs, lose them cares - where? Down in birdland Total swing, bop was king - there Down in birdland Bird would cook, max would look - where? Down in birdland Miles came through, trane came too - there Down in birdland Basie blew, blakey too - where? Down in birdland Cannonball played that hall - there Down in birdland Yeah
There may never be nothin such as that No mo 92x) Down in birdland, thats where it was at I know (2x) Back in them days bop was ridin high Hello! n goodbye
How well those cats remember Their first birdland gig To play in birdland is an honor we still dig Yeah, that club was like In another world, sure enough Yeah, baby All of the cats had the cookin on People just sat an they was steady lookin' on Then bird, he came and spread the word Birdland

Bird named it, bird made it, bird heard it, Then played it Well-stated! birdland It happened down in birdland
Everybody dug that beat Everybody stomped their feet Everybody digs be-bop An theyll never stop
