The Old Music Master - Hoagy Carmichael[00:00:00]
Written by:Johnny Mercer/Hoagy Carmichael[00:00:04]
One night long ago by the light of the moon[00:00:08]
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[00:00:21]
A little colored boy[00:00:24]
You gotta jump it music master[00:00:26]
You gotta play that rhythm faster[00:00:28]
You're never gonna get it played[00:00:30]
On the happy cat hit parade[00:00:32]
You better tell your friend Beethoven[00:00:34]
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[00:00:40]
Long about 1917[00:00:43]
Jazz'll come upon the scene[00:00:45]
Then about 1935[00:00:47]
You'll begin to hear swing boogie woogie and jive[00:00:49]
You better tellof 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[00:00:57]
The old music master[00:01:00]
Simply sat there amazed[00:01:01]
As wide eyed and open mouthed[00:01:04]
He gazed and he gazed[00:01:06]
How can you be certain little boy[00:01:08]
Tell me how[00:01:11]
Because I was born in seven hundred years from now[00:01:12]
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[00:01:25]
Long about 1917[00:01:56]
Jazz'll come upon a scene[00:02:01]
Then about 1935[00:02:03]
You'll begin to hear swing boogie woogie jive[00:02:05]
He hit a chord that rocked the spinet[00:02:08]
And disappeared into the infinite[00:02:10]
And up until the present day[00:02:12]
You can take it from me[00:02:14]
He's as right as can be[00:02:15]
Ev'rything has happened that a way yeah[00:02:16]
