《Body and Soul》歌词

[00:03:20] Body And Soul - Nat King Cole

[00:03:20] Don't you know, he was the king of saxophones

[00:03:20] Yes indeed he was;

[00:03:20] Talkin' 'bout the guy that made it sound so good

[00:03:20] Some people knew him by the Bean

[00:03:20] But Hawkins was his name

[00:03:20] He sure could swing and play pretty too

[00:03:20] Sounds good to me, should sound good to you

[00:03:20] I love to hear him playing Body and Soul

[00:03:20] Very pleasing to the ear

[00:03:20] When I first heard it on the record

[00:03:20] I just stopped, right there,

[00:03:20] Sounded like a band of angels in the sky,

[00:03:20] And I have never ever heard a sweeter tone

[00:03:20] In fact I pay no 'ttention to the saxophone

[00:03:20] 'Til Coleman Hawkins came along and spoke to everyone,

[00:03:20] Saying better listen won't you hear me,

[00:03:20] While I play for you,

[00:03:20] Sometimes it's hot

[00:03:20] Then again it's blue

[00:03:20] My soul just seems to wander,

[00:03:20] Pleasing each and everyone,

[00:03:20] It's what I've long been craving for

[00:03:20] The doors have not been always open,

[00:03:20] But I am trying to please you.

[00:03:20] Please don't try to stop me.

[00:03:20] Hope you like it folks

[00:03:20] And then he started cookin',

[00:03:20] Every time he played

[00:03:20] Some melodic melody fast or slow

[00:03:20] You could tell that it was Hawkins,

[00:03:20] No other one ever has

[00:03:20] Quite captured his tone

[00:03:20] Just he alone,

[00:03:20] Has the sound that penetrates

[00:03:20] It will sure go right through you

[00:03:20] Yes it will,

[00:03:20] And every chorus gives you just another thrill

[00:03:20] Then along came Eddie Jefferson

[00:03:20] He sang the melody like Hawkins played it

[00:03:20] He sang it true

[00:03:20] He sang it blue

[00:03:20] Made words for it too

[00:03:20] All his fans in New York loved him

[00:03:20] There's no one above him

[00:03:20] Here in the USA

[00:03:20] I've heard 'em say ol' Eddie was the man

[00:03:20] Oh how he could sing

[00:03:20] Man did he swing

[00:03:20] Sang on the wing, did his own thing

[00:03:20] Yes he did

[00:03:20] Throughout the country,

[00:03:20] Music lovers are still wiggin' on Eddie's singin'

[00:03:20] All around the world, he is known

[00:03:20] Rhythm was his special joy,

[00:03:20] He swung it like a horn

[00:03:20] He must have been born to be a singer

[00:03:20] 'Cause his lyrics were so sincere and true

[00:03:20] Funny sad or blue

[00:03:20] Oh yeah!

[00:03:20] And we've got to remind you

[00:03:20] Many years it took him

[00:03:20] Singing every day to achieve his first claim to fame

[00:03:20] He was twenty years ahead of his time

[00:03:20] And he knew it

[00:03:20] But he kept right on-a singing

[00:03:20] He went all around the world making rhythm

[00:03:20] 'Cause music sure was in him and he knew it was

[00:03:20] Sang with Moody and Richie Cole

[00:03:20] He could sing it just like Bird

[00:03:20] But his forte was the words he wrote to

[00:03:20] Music that he sang

[00:03:20] So he sang, and he sang

[00:03:20] And he sang his words so clever

[00:03:20] And I know they'll silence him never

[00:03:20] 'Cause he cut this masterpiece

[00:03:20] And now we're trying to sing it for you

[00:03:20] Hope the Bean and Eddie both would still approve

[00:03:20] There we go

[00:03:20] We didn't mean to reminisce

[00:03:20] You can surely bet

[00:03:20] That we won't forget

[00:03:20] 'Cause we hear them yet

[00:03:20] Goodbye
