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

( band on for a little while....free but together)
Now here I am in this old building night time in the city I sure wish I just relax and be cool But it's just like my mother "Dont cause nuthin ya jack" Now here comes Bob with a mouth of jive I know hes comin here " Yeah I ya talkin Jim, no company tonight man, no man my machine is in the pawn shop, man stop talkin so loud, you wake my land 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 that noise" ( pots, pans and crashing now) "Please stop all the confusion" (Landlady,Bob, and the still being loud) "Please just let me be cool man!!!" ( is unbearable now) "Please get from my door!!!" (oh s***, gonna snap,,,any minute!!) "Will you go!!!" (Noise starts to recede...slowly) "I just to be cool man" ( finally quiet...again...fer now)
Man you see this old room of mine Every morning I up and look around me And I thinkin I must've died a hundred years during the And I about that jack, yes I wonder Like how I ever got Because I dont have any plans of that fast
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 prove that to my when I was living back home I'd wake up to sounds Mom didnt dig, she didnt go for it Bird, Miles, Max... she just see it Morning, afternoon, or anytime is until I played her some monk one night,late Round I played her some that is Now Mom spends of her nights in tunisia
(Trumpet starts in again,un-muted, and somber yet still swinging...slow)
( Now a sax comes in and starts conversating a muted trumpet)
(Now everyone to walk and swing)
(Slow muted pauses all, says a few things here and there,no one listens)
Yeah! Early in the morning time, in the night time I'm the blues Sometimes Im laughing and having myself a And thats why Bob keeps telling the blues aint all up in my old room But it dances and struts like a woman Skips and like children playing ball and thats why I always manage to change once in a while with the blues And wether I it or not I love the idea of living But its tough man And I dont tough like when Miles is grooving with his horn I tough like when I cant make that morning meal I'm ducking the landlady When everything I is in hock when I think of all the places I havent been And wont ever get there But I maybe I will Yes, the way I think Like the says The sun shine thru my back 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) Deee da da da dee
