Jazz At The Bookstore |
| Lead Belly’s in the background |
| Being drowned out by the grind |
| He’s singing ‘bout 'Rock Island Line' |
| Nobody seems to pay him any mind |
| Bestsellers and bookshelves |
| Full of self-help printed word |
| Some faint, elegance is heard |
| Now was that Ellington or Bird? |
| And has it really come to this? |
| Can ignorance be bliss? |
| I’m waiting for the other shoe to drop |
| Jazz at the bookstore |
| And Blues in the coffee shop |
| Jazz at the bookstore |
| And Blues in the coffee shop |
| There’s a man standing at the crossroads |
| With a dark roast in his hand |
| He’s livin' in white yuppy land |
| Over by the milk and sugar stand |
| And have I really come for this |
| Cup of caffeinated bliss? |
| So we browse around all over town |
| Sipping coffees that we can’t pronounce |
| Meanwhile in the Blues Cemetery |
| All the coffins commence to bounce, bounce |
| Lead Belly’s in the cold ground |
| Rolling over in his grave |
| The hard road where so many slaved |
| Is now so smooth and paved |
| And has it really come to this? |
| Can ignorance be bliss? |
| I’m waiting for the other shoe to drop |
| Jazz at the bookstore |
| And Blues in the coffee shop |
| Jazz at the bookstore |
| And Blues in the coffee shop |
| Jazz at the bookstore |
| And Blues in the coffee shop |
