We are the Defenders of Jazz Ballet

 People say, when they see us:

Hey, folks! It's the Saviours of Jazz Ballet

 Fearless heroes of kick and spin

Baby, hear as they come

 Crawling on some black and dying tree

 Every night peacefully set the world on fire

 Every night I hear the red parade

 Say we, by command of the microphone

 Such is our conviction

 Make way for the Saviours of Jazz Ballet

 Hollow hearts make for pleasant lives
