Now here I am in this 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 ya wish 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 record is in the pawn shop, man stop talkin so loud, before you wake my land lady up and she remebers I havent 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 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 from my door!!!" (oh s***, gonna snap,,,any minute!!) "Will you go!!!" (Noise starts to recede...slowly) "I just want to be man" ( finally quiet...again...fer now)
Man you oughta see old room of mine Every morning I 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 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... a hymn Ya know I had to prove to my mother when I was living back home I'd up to them sounds Mom dig, she just didnt go for it Bird, Miles, Max... she couldnt see it Morning, afternoon, or anytime That is until I her some monk one night,late Round I her some monk that is Now Mom spends many of her nights in
(Trumpet in again,un-muted, soaring 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 trumpets pauses all, says a few things and there,no one listens)
Yeah! Early in the morning time, in the night time 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 it dances and struts like a woman Skips and hops like children ball and maybe thats why I always manage to change once in a Even with the 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 like when I cant make that morning meal I'm ducking the landlady When everything I is in hock Like I think of all the places I havent been And wont likely get there But I maybe I will Yes, thats the way I Like the says The sun will shine my back door someday All the way down to the of my stomach and back up again Yes the way I feel
Doo da da da deeeeee ( slow muted again...sad) da da da dee daaaa
