Mr Music Master (The Old Music Master) - Hoagy Carmichael (霍奇·卡迈克尔)[00:00:00]
One night long ago by the light of the moon[00:00:10]
An old music master sat composing a tune[00:00:14]
His spirit was soaring and his heart full of joy[00:00:18]
When right out of nowhere stepped[00:00:23]
A little colored boy[00:00:25]
You gotta jump it music master[00:00:27]
You gotta play that rhythm faster[00:00:30]
You're never gonna get it played[00:00:32]
On the Happy Cat Hit Parade[00:00:34]
You better tell your friend Beethoven[00:00:36]
And Mister Reginald De Koven[00:00:38]
They better do the same as you[00:00:40]
Or they're gonna be corny too[00:00:42]
Long about 1917[00:00:44]
Jazz'll come upon the scene[00:00:47]
Then about 1935[00:00:49]
You'll begin to hear swing[00:00:51]
Boogie woogie and jive[00:00:52]
You gotta show that big broadcaster[00:00:53]
That you're a solid music master[00:00:55]
And you'll achieve posterity[00:00:57]
That's a bit of advice from me[00:00:59]
The old music master[00:01:01]
Simply sat there amazed[00:01:03]
As wide-eyed and open-mouthed[00:01:06]
He gazed and he gazed[00:01:08]
How can you be certain little boy[00:01:10]
Tell me how [00:01:13]
Because I was born my friend[00:01:14]
A hundred years from now[00:01:17]
He hit a chord that rocked the spinet[00:01:19]
And disappeared into the infinite[00:01:21]
And up until the present day[00:01:23]
You can take it from me[00:01:25]
He's as right as can be[00:01:26]
Ev'rything has happened that-a-way[00:01:27]
Because I was born my friend[00:02:03]
A hundred years from now[00:02:07]
He hit a chord that rocked the spinet[00:02:10]
And disappeared into the infinite[00:02:12]
And up until the present day[00:02:14]
You can take it from me[00:02:16]
He's as right as can be[00:02:18]
Ev'rything has happened that-a-way[00:02:19]
