(landlady in to yelling about rent) "Why everbody please stop that noise" ( pots, pans and cans crashing now) "Please all the confusion" (Landlady,Bob, and the pots still being loud) "Please let me be cool man!!!" ( Noise is unbearable now) "Please get away 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)

Like a Ya know I had to that to my mother when I was living back home I'd up to them sounds Mom didnt dig, she didnt go for it Bird, Miles, Max... she couldnt see it Morning, afternoon, night or That is until I played her monk one night,late Midnight I played her 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 with a muted trumpet)
(Now everyone starts to 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 with the Sometimes Im 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 like children ball and maybe thats why I always manage to once in a while Even the blues And wether I it or not I love the idea of living But sometymes its man And I mean tough like when Miles is grooving with his horn I mean tough like when I cant make morning meal When I'm ducking the When I have is in hock Like when I think of all the places I havent And wont ever get there But I think I will Yes, thats the way I the song says The sun will shine thru my back someday All the way to the bottom of my stomach and back up again Yes the way I feel
Doo da da da deeeeee ( slow trumpet again...sad) Deee da da da dee
