Jazz and Swing 12 lines
Swing

Many brave and good men went off to war
To serve this country as they had before

Jazz was fighting for the cause that was good
Bonds from Swing did well to lighten the mood

The men and country needed a good boost
To keep the morale up from coast to coast

There needed to be some happiness found
Sherzando music kept their chins off the ground

An Italian group brought spirit in a record
SHERZANDO SUL PIANOFORTE 1943

The music gave them all a chance to unwind
While the military was saving all of mankind
