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, where? I exactly know Im downtown And it I'm always with the blues I to myself in public places and hum Jazz tunes I Jazz But I hafta make it uptown To that old furnished of mine I guess thats why I so long downtown But I like the Cafe down here Especially the ones across the from theartres I once wanted to be on the But is the closest I'll ever get to one I afford a seat next to the ceiling That was Jazz music you heard out Now I got fifteen cents between me and I'll prolly walk all the way uptown Cause I'm playin that music You see.....I love Jazz
Doo do do (slow & sad muted trumpet) da da di dooooo........Daaaaaaaaaaa!
Thats music boy But it "really" pretty It like girls in magazines Its beautiful.....its terribly man Say...like a woman you might of been with night Or say an hour ago
da da di doooo ( Sad muted trumpet again) Doooo da da dee da!
Sad Sorta me of that old building I live in My room,...... out over lonely waters
Dooo dee dee da dooo( Trumpet picks up, cymbals & Bass start walking and faster louder and louder)
Now this!
( crash)
Dig! ( whole band comes in now swing and gusto!)
dee dee ba da da doo da! dee dee be da da doo da!
( band plays on for a while....free but together)
Now I am standing in this old building It's night in the city I wish I could just relax and be cool But it's just like my says "Dont cause nuthin ya jack" Now here comes Bob with a mouth full of I know hes right here " I hear ya talkin Jim, no company tonight man, no man my record machine is in the shop, man stop talkin so loud, before you wake my land lady up and she remebers I paid my rent in three weeks" "Oh man who cares" (yelling in the background) "Go man go!" (landlady starts in to yelling rent) "Why dont everbody please stop that noise" ( pots, and cans 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 from my door!!!" (oh s***, gonna snap,,,any minute!!) "Will you go!!!" (Noise starts to recede...slowly) "I just want to be cool man" ( quiet...again...fer now)
Man you oughta see this old room of Every morning I wake up and around me And I keep I died a hundred years during the night And I wonder that jack, yes I wonder Like how I got here I dont have any plans 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 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 them Mom didnt dig, she just go for it Bird, Miles, Max... she just see it Morning, afternoon, night or is until I played her some monk one night,late Round 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 comes in and starts with 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, late in the night I'm the blues Im laughing and having myself a ball And thats why Bob keeps telling the blues aint all up there in my old But sometimes it dances and struts like a 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 the idea of living But its tough man And I dont tough like when Miles is grooving with his horn I mean tough like when I cant make that meal I'm ducking the landlady When everything I have is in Like when I of all the places I havent been And wont likely get there But I maybe I will Yes, the way I think the song says The sun will shine thru my back door All the way down to the bottom of my and back up again Yes the way I feel
Doo da da da deeeeee ( muted trumpet again...sad) Deee da da da dee
man But not "real" Beautiful like a A woman
