Goodbye Pork Pie Hat |
He put all of his soul |
Into a tenor saxophone |
He had a way a talking |
't was a language of his own |
Life story love and glory |
If you listen when he plays it for you |
Now listen and listen, and dig it |
Can you dig it? |
Lester Young is playing what is feeling |
Dealing and dancing you home |
When Charlie speaks of Lester |
You know that someone great has gone |
The sweetest swinging music man |
Had a Porkie Pie hat on |
A bright star in a dark age |
When the bandstands had a thousand ways |
Of refusing a blackman admission |
Black musician |
In those days they put him in an underdog position |
Cellars and chittlins |
