Mr. Music Master (The Old Music Master) |
One night long ago by the light of the moon |
An old music master sat composing a tune |
His spirit was soaring and his heart full of joy |
When right out of nowhere stepped |
A little colored boy |
You gotta jump it, music master |
You gotta play that rhythm faster |
You’re never gonna get it played |
On the Happy Cat Hit Parade |
You better tell your friend Beethoven |
And Mister Reginald De Koven |
They better do the same as you |
Or they’re gonna be corny too |
Long about 1917 |
Jazz’ll come upon the scene |
Then about 1935 |
You’ll begin to hear swing |
Boogie woogie and jive |
You gotta show that big broadcaster |
That you’re a solid music master |
And you’ll achieve posterity |
That’s a bit of advice from me |
The old music master |
Simply sat there amazed |
As wide-eyed and open-mouthed |
He gazed and he gazed |
How can you be certain little boy |
Tell me how? |
Because I was born, my friend |
A hundred years from now |
He hit a chord that rocked the spinet |
And disappeared into the infinite |
And up until the present day |
You can take it from me |
He’s as right as can be |
Ev’rything has happened that-a-way |
