Well here I am right back where I was And the day before, and the day that on a high barstool Holding my dreams up to the sound of Jazz I live uptown, I dont exactly know Im downtown And it seems I'm always with the I to myself in public places and hum Jazz tunes I Jazz But soon I hafta make it To that old room of mine I guess thats why I stall so long But I like the Cafe bars down the ones across the street from theartres I once wanted to be on the But is the closest I'll ever get to one I couldnt afford a seat to the ceiling That was Jazz music you heard out Now I got fifteen cents me and starvation I'll hafta walk all the way uptown I'm playin that music again You see.....I love music

(landlady starts in to about rent) "Why dont everbody please stop noise" ( pots, pans and cans crashing now) "Please stop all the confusion" (Landlady,Bob, and the still being loud) "Please just let me be cool man!!!" ( Noise is now) "Please get away my door!!!" (oh s***, gonna snap,,,any minute!!) "Will you go!!!" (Noise starts to recede...slowly) "I want to be cool man" ( finally quiet...again...fer now)
Man you oughta see this old of mine Every morning I wake up and look me And I keep I must've a hundred years during the night And I wonder about jack, yes I wonder Like how I got here Because I have any plans of dying that fast
I guess I'm the only man in the world who wakes up too music in the morning I guess, i cant say why I guess I it solemn... a hymn 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 just go for it Bird, Miles, Max... she couldnt see it Morning, afternoon, or anytime That is I played her some monk one night,late Round I her some monk that is Now Mom spends of her nights 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 muted trumpets pauses all, says a few things and there,no one listens)
Yeah! in the morning time, late in the night time I'm the blues Im laughing and having myself a ball And why Bob keeps telling the blues aint all up there in my old room But sometimes it dances and struts like a Skips and hops children playing ball and maybe thats why I always to change once in a while Even the blues And wether I like it or not I love the of living But sometymes its man And I dont mean tough like when Miles is grooving with his I mean tough like when I cant make that morning When I'm ducking the everything 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 the song says The sun will shine thru my door someday All the way down to the bottom of my stomach and up again Yes thats the way I
Doo da da da deeeeee ( slow muted again...sad) da da da dee daaaa
