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

Now here I am standing in this old night time in the city I sure wish I could just relax and be But it's just like my says "Dont cause nuthin ya jack" Now here comes Bob a mouth full of jive I know hes comin here " Yeah I hear ya talkin Jim, no company man, no man my record machine is in the shop, man stop talkin so loud, before you wake my lady up and she remebers I havent paid my rent in three weeks" "Oh man who cares" (yelling in the background) "Go man go!" (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 pots still loud) "Please just let me be man!!!" ( Noise is unbearable now) "Please get from my door!!!" (oh s***, gonna snap,,,any minute!!) "Will you please go!!!" (Noise to recede...slowly) "I want to be cool man" ( finally quiet...again...fer now)

(Trumpet starts in again,un-muted, and somber yet still swinging...slow)
( Now a sax in and starts conversating with a muted 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 with the Im laughing and having myself a ball And thats why Bob keeps telling the blues all up there in my old room But it dances and struts 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 I like it or not I love the idea of living But sometymes its man And I dont mean tough like when Miles is with his horn I mean tough like when I cant that morning meal When I'm ducking the When I have is in hock Like I think of all the places I havent been And ever likely get there But I maybe I will Yes, the way I think Like the says The sun will shine thru my door someday All the way to the bottom of my stomach and back up again Yes thats the way I
Doo da da da ( slow muted trumpet again...sad) da da da dee daaaa
