Victor Should Have Been A Jazz Musician

I went to a concert

To see Nina Simone

The concert was over

There was still a band playing, the wrap up

The bongo man played his beat with his hands

I closed my eyes and looked 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

There were 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

Ah, ah

He's living in a fast beat, in a city that's hot

Telling all the Latinos and the Puerto Ricans

Victor seems happy, but he doesn't even know himself

He's gotta look inside to know his first love

Victor was a jazz musician (Gotta look inside to know)

He was a jazz musician

In his first life, he was a jazz, musician

Victor was a jazz musician

Somewhere, Victor plays his music, he loves his music

Somewhere, Victor loves his music, he plays his music

Somewhere, Victor is a jazz musician
