I'm a jazz freak, a red-blooded jazz freak
That's what gets to me, soft music with a sweet melody
Let me hear something light on the drums
And a low groovy sound on the bass
Hey you on the piano, bring it up just a taste
Play that good, good music while my man whispers in my ear
Don't be afraid to give what you got
There's no restrictions here
Now I don't mind disco music every once in a while
But when I'm in the arms of the man I love
That's just not my style
Cause I'm a jazz freak, a red-blooded jazz freak
That's what gets to me, soft music with a sweet melody
I'm a jazz freak, a red-blooded jazz freak
I dig on this kind of music whenever I want to reach my peak
I got a lot of thrills from West Montgomery
And a lot of chills from Elephant's Jail
Lionel Hampton sends me with his vibes
And brought joy into my world
No one can play it like Count Basie
No one can arrange like Quincy Jones
Brad McDonough and George Benson
Can really turn me on
Now this kind of jazz makes things right
When other music makes it wrong
I'm making love in the middle of the night
As I listen to the trumpet of Louis Armstrong
I'm a jazz freak, a red-blooded jazz freak
I'm a jazz freak, a red-blooded jazz freak
I'm a jazz freak, a red-blooded jazz freak
Dewey Scuba, Dewey Scuba, Dewey Scuba
Let me hear something light on the drums
And the low groovy sound of bass
Hey you on the piano, bring it up just a taste
Play that good, good music
While my man whispers in my ear
Don't be afraid to deal with it fellas
There's no restrictions here
Said I don't mind disco music
Every once in a while
But when I'm in the arms of a man I love
That's just not my style
Cause I'm a jazz freak, a red-blooded jazz freak
That's what gets to me
Soft music with a sweet melody
I'm a jazz freak, a red-blooded jazz freak
I dig on this kind of music
Whenever I wanna reach my peak
I would like to give special thanks

I'm a jazz freak, a red-blooded jazz freak
