The Old Music Master - Hoagy Carmichael[00:00:02]
One night long ago by the light of the moon[00:00:09]
An old music master sat composing a tune[00:00:13]
His spirit was soaring and his heart full of joy[00:00:17]
When right out of nowhere stepped[00:00:22]
A little colored boy[00:00:24]
You gotta jump it music master[00:00:27]
You gotta play that rhythm faster[00:00:28]
You're never gonna get it played[00:00:31]
On the Happy Cat Hit Parade[00:00:33]
You better tell your friend Beethoven[00:00:35]
And Mister Reginald De Koven[00:00:37]
They better do the same as you[00:00:39]
Or they're gonna be corny too[00:00:41]
Long about 1917[00:00:43]
Jazz'll come upon the scene[00:00:46]
Then about 1935[00:00:48]
You'll begin to hear swing[00:00:50]
Boogie woogie and jive[00:00:51]
You gotta show that big broadcaster[00:00:52]
That you're a solid music master[00:00:54]
And you'll achieve posterity[00:00:56]
That's a bit of advice from me[00:00:58]
The old music master[00:01:00]
Simply sat there amazed[00:01:02]
As wide-eyed and open-mouthed[00:01:04]
He gazed and he gazed[00:01:06]
How can you be certain little boy[00:01:09]
Tell me how [00:01:12]
Because I was born my friend[00:01:13]
A hundred years from now[00:01:15]
He hit a chord that rocked the spinet[00:01:17]
And disappeared into the infinite[00:01:19]
And up until the present day[00:01:21]
You can take it from me[00:01:23]
He's as right as can be[00:01:24]
Ev'rything has happened that-a-way[00:01:26]
