Lyrics A Foggy Day - Charles Mingus, Mal Waldron, Willie Jones

A Foggy Day

Was a stranger in the city
Out of town were the people I knew
I had that feeling of self-pity
What to do?
What to do?
What to do?
The outlook was decidedly blue
But as I walked through the foggy streets alone
It turned out to be the luckiest day I’ve known
A foggy day in London Town
Had me low and had me down
I viewed the morning with alarm
The British Museum had lost its charm
How long, I wondered, could this thing last?
But the age of miracles hadn’t passed
For, suddenly, I saw you there
And through foggy London Town
The sun was shining everywhere
