Poets Hats

[Verse 1]
Many folks are in it just to wear the poet’s hat,
Not for the lines, the rhythm, or the scat,
But Lucille said, and she wasn’t wrong,
It’s the poetry, not the poet, that’s strong,
Celebrate the art, feel the heat,
Don’t chase the crowd, just move your feet.

[Chorus]
Dance with me, not for the show,
Feel the vibes, let the meaning grow,
Celebrate the art, let the ego go,
In this cabaret, we all glow.

[Verse 2]
E.E. said, “Be nobody but you,”
In a world where clones are made by the slew,
Lucille knew, it’s the heart that sings,
Not the fame or the fleeting things,
Fight the fight, stay true and bright,
In the darkness, be your own light.

[Chorus]
Dance with me, not for the show,
Feel the vibes, let the meaning grow,
Celebrate the art, let the ego go,
In this cabaret, we all glow.

[Bridge]
Aristotle knew, it’s not what you see,
But the inward truth, the mystery,
Banksy paints to shake the ground,
Comfort the lost, stir the found,
Lucille’s voice echoes clear,
Celebrate, don’t seek to cheer.

[Chorus]
Dance with me, not for the show,
Feel the vibes, let the meaning grow,
Celebrate the art, let the ego go,
In this cabaret, we all glow.

[Outro]
So here’s the tune, let’s break the mold,
Dance in the now, let the story be told,
Not for the crowd, not for the cheer,
But for the love, for what’s sincere,
Lucille, E.E., they paved the way,
In this cabaret, we celebrate today.
