Hit Parade - Beautiful South[00:00:00]
No one wrote a song for me[00:00:09]
Just instrumental not too long[00:00:13]
As sure as sure could ever be[00:00:18]
You'd only get the lyrics wrong[00:00:22]
No solo Chet Baker ever played[00:00:26]
Lowered me slowly to my grave[00:00:30]
The prose that Keats and Yates would save[00:00:34]
Was for king and queen not knave[00:00:39]
I have no poem that describes my charm[00:00:42]
No story told that's short and sweet[00:00:47]
I have no hymn I have no psalm[00:00:51]
This song I have it has no beat[00:00:55]
Yes it has no beat and no tapping of feet[00:00:58]
Yes it has no beat yes it has no beat[00:01:06]
Miles Davis played the black 'n' blues[00:01:17]
Did he play for me to lose [00:01:21]
'Cause just when 'round midnight falls[00:01:25]
That tune's not his it's Kenny Ball's[00:01:29]
I have no poem that describes my charm[00:01:33]
No story told that's short and sweet[00:01:37]
I have no hymn I have no psalm[00:01:41]
This song I have it has no beat[00:01:46]
Yes it has no beat yes it has no beat[00:01:48]
No tapping of feet yes it has no beat[00:01:57]
Now in that graveyard on that grave[00:02:07]
On that tombstone in the shade[00:02:11]
No poem written no accolade[00:02:15]
And no 'We loved you' ever sprayed[00:02:19]
There's just this feeling from that moss[00:02:24]
When epitaph you cannot read[00:02:28]
He must have lived it at a budget cost[00:02:32]
So he deserves to be beneath[00:02:36]
I have no poem that describes my charm[00:02:40]
No story told that's short and sweet[00:02:44]
I have no hymn I have no psalm[00:02:48]
This song I have it has no beat[00:02:52]
Yes it has no beat yes it has no beat[00:02:55]
And no tapping feet yes it has no beat[00:03:03]
All that William Robinson wrote[00:03:14]
Not one of my pluses did he portray[00:03:18]
Those lyrics stuck right down my throat[00:03:22]
I never hit it never hit my hit parade[00:03:25]
My hit parade[00:03:30]
My hit parade[00:03:32]
