shady rachel

Singer:flight of the conchords

this is a jazz tune called shady rachel

if you don't like jazz then now's a good time to take 5

that's one for the brubeck fans

yeah

a lot of people wondering how we got here tonight

well we caught

it's a great way to get from a to b flat sus

it all started when i invited rachel round to one of my parties you know

all my friends were there

shifty

shifty pete

sneaky steven

regifting david

he showed up and gave me that birthday present i gave him last year

i gave you that book

you were there jazzy jim

i remember i turned up to his party

i remember ringing doorbell

i just did a little

a ding dong zoo-bah doo-bah doo-bah zee-bow

i don't even hear a doorbell

i improvize it

i improvize it

i'm a jazz. musician

the party was

long-winded tim was one of his meandering anecdotes

and enjoying their soup

well i mean some people were enjoying it but i have one thing

i keep mentioning this to him

he has these soup parties

and he only has one spoon

he insists everyone uses it

why can't we just bring a spoon? he doesn't want people to get mixed up

says no

no

use a spoon

i got a spoon

i only need one spoon

i'm a jazz man

i know

i know

well okay but i was sitting right next to coleslaw eleanor and herpes herbin

it was around midnight i found my spoon was missing

i thought ah

there's only one person would take a man's only spoon

that's shady rachel

might have been thieving steven

i suspect

i went round to her place i said rachel
