Classical Jam

I've got this friend of mine, he's into classical jam
he likes to improvise, you know he don't give a damn
he takes a rapping rip then sets it all on fire, then jumps into the flame
he plies a symphony with similar desire, to him it's all the same

when there is freezing cold, he likes to mix it with hot
he'll empty out his soul and throw it all in the pot
he'll take a solid theme of delicate devising, of dignity and grace
and wrap it up inside some wanton improvising, then throw it in your face

he browns the meanest toast, his phonogram
plays what he likes the most 'I am what I am'
oh, he pops it in a pan, and turns it into classical jam

maybe it's minuets, maybe it's opera or blues
or old baroque quartets, he shakes them all in his shoes
he jiggles what he's got, to beggar all restriction well, that's his only rule
sprinkle the pepper-pot, it's just like an addiction, he cannot keep it cool

he browns the meanest toast, his phonogram
plays what he likes the most 'I am what I am'
oh, he pops it in a pan, and turns it into classical jam

just pop it in a pan, and turn it into classical jam
