Well here I am right where I was yesterday And the day before, and the day before Sitting on a barstool Holding my dreams up to the sound of music I live uptown, where? I dont know Im always And it seems I'm always with the I talk to myself in public places and hum Jazz I Jazz But I hafta make it uptown To that old furnished of mine I guess thats why I so long downtown But I the Cafe bars down here Especially the ones across the from theartres I once wanted to be on the But this is the closest I'll get to one I afford a seat next to the ceiling That was music you heard blastin out Now I got fifteen cents between me and I'll prolly walk all the way uptown Cause I'm that music again You see.....I love Jazz

(landlady starts in to about rent) "Why dont everbody please that noise" ( pots, pans and cans crashing now) "Please all the confusion" (Landlady,Bob, and the pots still being loud) "Please just let me be cool man!!!"

I guess I'm the only man in the world who up too Jazz music in the morning I guess, i say exactly why I I find it solemn... Like a Ya know I had to that to my mother when I was living back home I'd wake up to sounds Mom didnt dig, she didnt go for it Bird, Miles, Max... she couldnt see it Morning, afternoon, or anytime That is I played her some monk one night,late Midnight I played her some that is Now Mom spends many of her in tunisia
(Trumpet starts in again,un-muted, soaring and somber yet swinging...slow)
( Now a sax comes in and starts conversating with a trumpet)
(Now everyone starts to and swing)
(Slow trumpets pauses all, says a few things here and there,no one listens)
Yeah! Early in the morning time, late in the time I'm the blues Im laughing and having myself a ball And thats why Bob keeps the blues aint all up there in my old room But sometimes it dances and like a woman Skips and like children playing ball and maybe why I always manage to change once in a while Even the blues And wether I like it or not I love the of living But its tough man And I dont mean like when Miles is grooving with his horn I mean tough like when I cant make that morning When I'm the landlady When I have is in hock Like when I think of all the I havent been And wont ever get there But I maybe I will Yes, the way I think Like the says The sun will shine thru my back door All the way down to the bottom of my stomach and up again Yes thats the way I
