Ma' Dear Blue Skies Lady Triolet

for Denise Oliver-Velez & Black Music Sunday folks

Ma' Dear Blue Skies Lady—how we need some Black music to be happy

Yes we need to move & groove this year / eyes straight ahead & beyond babyeee

We need some bass & brass & drums/ some upbeat fearless melody/most of all soul

Ma' Dear Blue Skies Lady—how we need some Black music to be happy

We need some Black music to see to feel good, to stand up, to rise

We need to slide—to shout, spin /skit-skat and sing to keep goin' in spite of the crazy

Ma' Dear Blue Skies Lady—how we need some Black music to be happy

Yes we need to move & groove this year / eyes straight ahead & beyond babyeee
