Words Used: Buttons, Shining, Keyboard, Soft, Exceedingly
Lyrics by Sheryl Bohlander – Vocals and Music by SUNO

VERSE 1
How I miss the Age Of Swing,
Dizzy and Krupah and Benny was King.
There’s In The Mood and Mack the Knife,
And, who could forget – Begin the Begeene!

CHORUS
Ballrooms with their shiny lights,
Glamour was on display at night.
Spats with buttons, chiffon that swirled,
The Big Band era was cool as ice.

VERSE 2
Bluesy jazz ruled with Sarah Vaughn.
Django ripped his gypsy guitar sound,
The Count and Duke teased the keyboards.
And for all those years, the band played on.

CHORUS
Ballrooms with their shiny lights,
Glamour was on display at night.
Spats with buttons, chiffon that swirled.
The Big Band era was cool as ice.

BRIDGE
Closing my eyes, the band appear.
The greats of jazz play in my ear.
Hello Dolly, What A Wonderful World,
Ahh, my memories are exceedingly clear.

CHORUS
Ballrooms with their shiny lights,
Glamour was on display at night.
Spats with buttons, chiffon that swirled,
The Big Band era was cool as ice.

Oh the Big Bands …. Cool as ice.
Cool As Ice.

I haven't composed my own melody (working on it), so the music is all AI.
