Quintorigo - Goodbye Pork Pie Hat lyrics

(C. Mingus, R. Roland Kirk) He put all of his soul Into a tenor saxophone He had a way a talking 't was a language of his own Life story love and glory If you listen when he plays it for you Now listen and listen, and dig it Can you dig it? Lester Young is playing what is feeling Dealing and dancing you home When Charlie speaks of Lester You know that someone great has gone The sweetest swinging music man Had a Porkie Pie hat on A bright star in a dark age When the bandstands had a thousand ways Of refusing a blackman admission Black musician In those days they put him in an underdog position Cellars and chittlins
