I Want To Be A Sideman |
| I want to be a sideman |
| Just an ordinary sideman |
| A go along for the ride man |
| Responsibility free |
| I wanna fill behind the vocal |
| Double on flute |
| Jam on the blues |
| I wanna go and join the local |
| Buy a dark suit |
| Stock payin' dues |
| I want to maintain my book |
| In neatly numbered order |
| I wanna listen to Lester Young |
| On my recorder |
| I want to play while the people dance |
| I wanna press my own coat and pants |
| I wanna ask for an advance |
| I wanna be a sideman |
| I wanna be a sideman |
| Just a highly qualified man |
| A real professional pride man |
| Old indispensible me |
| Now I can cut whatever comes up |
| Fake and transpose |
| Won’t make a fuss |
| I wanna set the vibes and drums up |
| Sightread the shows |
| Sleep on the bus |
| I want to spend all my time |
| With music and musicians |
| I wanna go out and grab a smoke |
| On intermissions |
| I want to sleep in the afternoons |
| And let the leader call all the tunes |
| I wanna be young |
| I wanna have fun |
| I want to be a sideman |
| I wanna work for a superstar |
| I wanna hang in the hotel bar |
| I wanna be young |
| I wanna have fun |
| I want to be a sideman |
