《The Old Music Master》歌词

[00:00:02] The Old Music Master - Hoagy Carmichael

[00:00:09] One night long ago by the light of the moon

[00:00:13] An old music master sat composing a tune

[00:00:17] His spirit was soaring and his heart full of joy

[00:00:22] When right out of nowhere stepped

[00:00:24] A little colored boy

[00:00:27] You gotta jump it music master

[00:00:28] You gotta play that rhythm faster

[00:00:31] You're never gonna get it played

[00:00:33] On the Happy Cat Hit Parade

[00:00:35] You better tell your friend Beethoven

[00:00:37] And Mister Reginald De Koven

[00:00:39] They better do the same as you

[00:00:41] Or they're gonna be corny too

[00:00:43] Long about 1917

[00:00:46] Jazz'll come upon the scene

[00:00:48] Then about 1935

[00:00:50] You'll begin to hear swing

[00:00:51] Boogie woogie and jive

[00:00:52] You gotta show that big broadcaster

[00:00:54] That you're a solid music master

[00:00:56] And you'll achieve posterity

[00:00:58] That's a bit of advice from me

[00:01:00] The old music master

[00:01:02] Simply sat there amazed

[00:01:04] As wide-eyed and open-mouthed

[00:01:06] He gazed and he gazed

[00:01:09] How can you be certain little boy

[00:01:12] Tell me how

[00:01:13] Because I was born my friend

[00:01:15] 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

[00:01:24] He's as right as can be

[00:01:26] Ev'rything has happened that-a-way
