CHAKA KHAN lyrics : "And The Melody Still Lingers On (Night In Tunisia)"

(Dizzy Gillespie, Frank Paparelli, Chaka Khan and Arif Mardin)
A long time ago in the 40's
Dizzy and Bird gave us this song

They called it "A Night In Tunisia"
And the melody still lingers on


It was new and very strange
Blew the squares right off the stage
Few could play along

But the melody still lingers on

Max and Miles to name just two

Together they grew
The music was young and strong
And the melody still lingers on


They paved the way for generations
From Coltrane to Stevie

No one could stop the winds of change
Without them where'd we be?


The Duke and the Prez were there before
The past you can't ignore
The torch is lit, we'll keep the flame

And the melody remains the same

In the 40's

A night in tunisia
In the 40's
A night in tunisia

In the 40's
A night in tunisia
In the 40's

A night in tunisia
