Savoy sides presents a new saxophone sensation
It's Parker's band with a smooth style of syncopation
Kansas City born and growing 
You won't believe what the boys are blowing 

You got to come on man 
And take a piece of Mister Parker's band 

You'll be riding by, bareback on your armadillo 
You'll be grooving high or relaxing at Camarillo 
Suddenly the music hits you 
It's a bird in flight that just can't quit you 

You got to come on man 
And take a piece of Mister Parker's band 

We will spend a dizzy weekend smacked into a trance
Me and you will listen to 
A little bit of what made the preacher dance 

Bring your horn along and you can add to the pure confection 
And if you can't fly you'll have to move in with the rhythm section
Either way you're bound to function 
Fifty-Second Street's the junction 

You got to come on man 
And take a piece of Mister Parker's
Clap your hands and take a piece of Mister Parker's
Come on man and take a piece of Mister Parker's band
