Lyrics

[Verse 1] I'm still nervous on the way to the bar So we rehearse the set in the back of the car Fingers moving along with the tape we made last night at the practice space I hope my friends will come tonight So they can see what I'm really like [Chorus] Clever, clever jazz, man Sorry that doesn't sound like it's planned Clever, clever jazz, man Can't you see, we're doing the best that we can? So stop shouting, play one you know And let us get on with the show Clever, clever jazz man I'm sorry that it doesn't sound like it's planned [Verse 2] They say it's worse if they can tell you're nervous You can say 'amateur hour' but you'd be wrong We played for nine minutes, we've got two songs [Chorus] Clever, clever jazz, man I'm sorry it doesn't sound like it's planned Clever, clever jazz, man Can't you see, we're doing the best that we can? Stop shouting, play what you know And let us get on with the show Clever, clever jazz man We're working in a genre you don't understand [Interlude] [Chorus] Clever, clever jazz, man Sorry that it doesn't sound like it's planned Clever, clever jazz, man Can't you see, we're doing the best that we can? Stop shouting, play what you know And let us get on with the show Clever, clever jazz man We're working in a genre you don't understand
