Victor should have been a jazz musician lyrics
by Grace Jones



I went to a concert
To see Nina Simone
The concert was over
There was still a band playing, the rap up

The bongo-man played his lead with his hands
I close my eyes and look at him

Victor should have been a jazz musician
I said to myself, Victor should have been a jazz musician

I looked at his face and I saw Victor
Looked at his smile and I saw Victor
I looked at his hair and thought

Victor should have been a jazz musician
Victor should have been a jazz musician

And the people dancing on the floor
Dancing on the floor, they were so high
You should have seen Victor smile
You should have seen Victor smile
As they danced all the while all around on the floor, and he laughed

Victor should have been a jazz musician
Oh, Victor should have been a jazz musician
He was playing so nice, the jazz musician
Aha

He's living in a fast beat, in a city that's hot
Telling all the Latino's and Puerto Ricans
Victor seems happy but he doesn't even know himself
He's gotta look inside to now his first love

Victor was a jazz musician
You got to look inside to know
He was the jazz musician

It feels alive, he was a jazz musician
Victor was a jazz musician

Victor plays his music, loves his music
Somewhere loves his music, he plays his music
Somewhere Victor is a jazz musician

Jazz
