Goodbye Pork Pie Hat - Joni Mitchell[00:00:00]

When Charlie speaks of Lester[00:00:42]

You know someone great has gone[00:00:47]

The sweetest swinging music man[00:00:51]

Had a Porkie Pig hat on[00:00:56]

A bright star[00:01:00]

In a dark age[00:01:03]

When the bandstands had a thousand ways[00:01:04]

Of refusing a black man admission[00:01:09]

Black musician[00:01:18]

In those days they put him in an[00:01:21]

Underdog position[00:01:25]

Cellars and chittlins'[00:01:33]

When Lester took him a wife[00:01:36]

Arm and arm went black and white[00:01:42]

And some saw red[00:01:45]

And drove them from their hotel bed[00:01:49]

Love is never easy[00:01:55]

It's short of the hope we have for happiness[00:02:00]

Bright and sweet[00:02:07]

Love is never easy street[00:02:09]

Now we are black and white[00:02:13]

Embracing out in the lunatic New York night[00:02:16]

It's very unlikely we'll be driven out of town[00:02:20]

Or be hung in a tree[00:02:25]

That's unlikely[00:02:29]

Tonight these crowds[00:02:32]

Are happy and loud[00:02:39]

Children are up dancing in the streets[00:02:48]

In the sticky middle of the night[00:02:52]

Summer serenade[00:02:54]

Of taxi horns and fun arcades[00:02:56]

Where right or wrong[00:03:00]

Under neon[00:03:02]

Every feeling goes on[00:03:04]

For you and me[00:03:07]

The sidewalk is a history book[00:03:10]

And a circus[00:03:13]

Dangerous clowns[00:03:14]

Balancing dreadful and wonderful perceptions[00:03:17]

They have been handed[00:03:21]

Day by day[00:03:22]

Generations on down[00:03:24]

We came up from the subway[00:04:22]

On the music midnight makes[00:04:26]

To Charlie's bass and Lester's saxophone[00:04:31]

In taxi horns and brakes[00:04:36]

Now Charlie's down in Mexico[00:04:40]

With the healers[00:04:45]

So the sidewalk leads us with music[00:04:47]

To two little dancers[00:04:51]

Dancing outside a black bar[00:04:57]

There's a sign up on the awning[00:05:03]

It says "Pork pie hat bar"[00:05:07]

And there's black babies dancing[00:05:14]

Tonight[00:05:19]
