Goodbye Pork Pie Hat - Lyambiko[00:00:00]

When Charlie speaks of Lester[00:00:18]

You know someone great has gone[00:00:22]

The sweetest swinging music man[00:00:26]

Had a Porkie Pig hat on[00:00:31]

A bright star[00:00:34]

In a dark age[00:00:36]

When the bandstands had a thousand ways[00:00:38]

Of refusing a black man admission[00:00:42]

Black musicion[00:00:50]

In those days they put him in an[00:00:53]

Underdog position[00:00:58]

Cellars and chittlins'[00:01:05]

When Lester took him a wife[00:01:07]

Arm and arm went black and white[00:01:12]

And some saw red[00:01:15]

And drove them from their hotel bed[00:01:17]

Love is never easy[00:01:25]

It's short of the hope[00:01:29]

We have for happiness[00:01:31]

Bright and sweet[00:01:36]

Love is never easy street[00:01:38]

Now we are black and white[00:01:40]

Embracing out in the lunatic New York night[00:01:43]

It's very unlikely we'll be driven out of town[00:01:48]

Or be hung in a tree[00:01:52]

That's unlikely[00:01:54]

Tonight these crowds[00:01:56]

Are happy and loud[00:02:04]

Children are up dancing in the streets[00:02:11]

In the sticky middle of the night[00:02:15]

Summer serenade[00:02:17]

Of taxi horns and fun arcades[00:02:18]

Where right or wrong[00:02:22]

Under neon[00:02:24]

Every feeling goes on[00:02:26]

For you and me[00:02:29]

The sidewalk is a history book[00:02:32]

And a circus[00:02:34]

Dangerous clowns[00:02:36]

Balancing dreadful and wonderful perceptions[00:02:38]

They have been handed[00:02:41]

Day by day[00:02:43]

Generations on down[00:02:44]

We came up from the subway[00:03:34]

On the music midnight makes[00:03:38]

To Charlie's bass and Lester's saxophone[00:03:43]

In taxi horns and brakes[00:03:47]

Now Charlie's down in Mexico[00:03:51]

With the healers[00:03:55]

So the sidewalk leads us with music[00:03:57]

To two little dancers[00:04:01]

Dancing outside a black bar[00:04:06]

There's a sign up on the awning[00:04:11]

It says Pork Pie Hat Bar[00:04:15]

And there's black babies dancing[00:04:19]

Tonight[00:04:27]
