This goes with How to Sing the Blues.

If you do not have the inherent skill to make rhythmic syllables as you improvise your jazz ride, try singing the names of African countries.
Lay down a nice set of blues changes and see if these don't fit - somehow and any way you like..

Yeah! Ken-ya, Zim-bab-we, U-gan-da , Eth-i-opia.
Chad! Chad! Chad! Su-dan, and Tan-za-ni-a.
Oh, Baby, Baby - yeah! Congo down da Mali.
R-wanda! U-ganda! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
Za-ire Na-mibia, Botswana gonna Zam-bia.
Oh, Baby, Baby.
Zim - bab - we!

Yeah, Man. - Your audience will think you're the hippest cat on the globe! (Little do they know...!)
