Ellamental lyrics

Artist  : Vanessa Williams 
Song : Ellamental
 


Way back, take a look, she would cook
When
they were stompin' at the Savoy
She would
blow, and they would dance, don't you know
?
It was an uptown kind a show

Cool
notes and melodies, harmonies
She sang the
song of the universe
She can make a joyful
noise up to heaven
And call the angels down to
the earth

From jazz, to swing, to
be-bop
She kept the spirit alive
For Bo,
Duke, Dizzy, and Miles
She spoke her
mind
She's Ellamental to the art
She spoke
her mind
She's Ellamental to the
art

Too hot, until the dawn she sang
on
When joints were jumpin' and jive was
in
Bodies movin' back and forth to the
rhythm
Ever since Ella first did her
thing

From jazz, to swing to be-bop
She
brought emotions and moves
She kept the spirit
alive.
She spoke her mind

Act like ya
know, Oh!
Was it the smooth tones that was so
much like butter
Oh Ella was singin' just like
no other singer
Cause you know I be the funky
bringer of the new style
because I be the wild
child.
Listenin' to hip-hop, listening to
be-bop and jazz
Ella made you move that
ass
Sensation for the people, insperation for
the sisters and brothers
Smooth jazz for the
midnight lovers
Savoy was the spot for shakin'
on your rump and
Ella made it hoppin'
Got
the joint jumpin', remembering you 'til the
dawn
Because Ella your memory goes
on

She spoke her mind (yeah...and it just
don't stop)
She's Ellamental to the art (the
memory goes on and on...'cause it just don't
stop)
She spoke her mind (...yeah..jazz to the
bebop)
She's Ellamental to the art
She
spoke her mind..(yeah...much love...)
She
spoke her mind...
