Erika Paul - Scat's My Bag [Cool Jazz] Lyrics

Scat's My Bag

Words & Music by Erika Paul
From the cd entitled, "Scat's My Bag"

I'm a dedicated jazz vocalist
I really do love my art
And I really
Know what I'm doing

Let me share some secrets of how I learned to scat
I took a simple melody and changed it just like that

First I sang the melody straight
Then I started to wait behind the beat
Then I started changing the melody
Then I changed the rhythm
Then I came in early, then I came in late

Scat's My Bag
I sing whatever I hear
Scat's My Bag
I sing whatever I hear

It never sounds the same
I try to use my brain
But I mostly use my ear

Scat's My Bag
I sing whatever I hear
Scat's My Bag
I sing whatever I hear

It never sounds the same
I try to use my brain
But I mostly use my ear

It never sounds the same
I try to use my brain
But I mostly use my ear

It never sounds the same
I try to use my brain
But I mostly use my ear
