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

Now here I am standing in old building It's time in the city I sure wish I could just relax and be But it's just my mother says "Dont cause nuthin ya jack" Now comes Bob with a mouth full of jive I know hes comin right " I hear 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 in to yelling about rent) "Why dont everbody please stop that noise" ( pots, pans and crashing now) "Please all the confusion" (Landlady,Bob, and the pots still being loud) "Please just let me be cool man!!!" ( Noise is now) "Please get away from my door!!!" (oh s***, snap,,,any minute!!) "Will you please go!!!" (Noise to recede...slowly) "I want to be cool man" ( finally quiet...again...fer now)
Man you oughta see this old room of Every I wake up and look around me And I keep I must've died a hundred years during the And I wonder that jack, yes I wonder how I ever got here Because I dont have any of dying that fast
I guess I'm the only man in the world who wakes up too Jazz music in the I guess, i say exactly why I guess I it solemn... Like a Ya know I had to prove that to my when I was living back home I'd up to them sounds Mom didnt dig, she just go for it Bird, Miles, Max... she just see it Morning, afternoon, or anytime That is until I played her some one night,late Midnight I her some monk that is Now Mom many of her nights in tunisia
(Trumpet starts in again,un-muted, soaring and somber yet swinging...slow)
( Now a sax in and starts conversating with a muted trumpet)
(Now everyone starts to and swing)
(Slow trumpets pauses all, says a few things here 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 why Bob keeps telling the blues aint all up there in my old room But sometimes it dances and like a woman and hops like children playing ball and maybe thats why I always to change once in a while with the blues And wether I like it or not I the idea of living But its tough man And I mean tough like when Miles is grooving with his horn I mean tough like when I cant that morning meal When I'm the landlady When everything I have is in Like when I think of all the I havent been And ever likely get there But I think I will Yes, thats the way I Like the song 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 trumpet again...sad) Deee da da da dee
man But not "real" Beautiful like a A woman
