Jay Richmond - Asongsmith here - sent me this lyric weeks ago. Made me think of an old friend of mine, so I figured I'd give her a go...so to speak...
The sax is provided by Dr. Larry Katz...thanks, bro!

V1:
The stage is set, the band strikes up a tune
A hushed attentiveness now fills the room
Illuminated by the spotlight's glow
A star is born in this one-woman show
V2:
From speakeasies to the Cotton Club
The night belongs to this slinky she-cub
In every honky-tonk and downtown dive
Her magic makes the mundane come alive
Ch1:
All decked out in diamonds and topaz
Ain't no glamour girl like Lady Jazz
She won't take your teasing or your razz
She'll cut you down to size will Lady Jazz
Bridge:
Can't be doing with no rigmarole
I need that classy sound to soothe my soul
On the night air I hear her soft call
I'm just one step from a headlong fall
Ch2:
There ain't nothing in this world sweet as
The pure high you get from Lady Jazz
Time to cast off all the razzmatazz
Get back to basics with Lady Jazz
Ch3:
Promised to be faithful - and she has
Ain't no love as fine as Lady Jazz
From New Orleans right down to La Paz
All roads lead, in time, to Lady Jazz
The sax is provided by Dr. Larry Katz...thanks, bro!
