《The Old Music Master》歌词

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

[00:00:04] Written by：Johnny Mercer/Hoagy Carmichael

[00:00:08] 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

[00:00:21] When right out of nowhere stepped

[00:00:24] A little colored boy

[00:00:26] You gotta jump it music master

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

[00:00:30] You're never gonna get it played

[00:00:32] On the happy cat hit parade

[00:00:34] You better tell your friend Beethoven

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

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

[00:00:40] Or they're gonna be corny too

[00:00:43] Long about 1917

[00:00:45] Jazz'll come upon the scene

[00:00:47] Then about 1935

[00:00:49] You'll begin to hear swing boogie woogie and jive

[00:00:52] You better tellof big broadcaster

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

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

[00:00:57] That's a bit of advice from me

[00:01:00] The old music master

[00:01:01] Simply sat there amazed

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

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

[00:01:08] How can you be certain little boy

[00:01:11] Tell me how

[00:01:12] Because I was born in seven 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

[00:01:25] Ev'rything has happened that a way

[00:01:56] Long about 1917

[00:02:01] Jazz'll come upon a scene

[00:02:03] Then about 1935

[00:02:05] You'll begin to hear swing boogie woogie jive

[00:02:08] He hit a chord that rocked the spinet

[00:02:10] And disappeared into the infinite

[00:02:12] And up until the present day

[00:02:14] You can take it from me

[00:02:15] He's as right as can be

[00:02:16] Ev'rything has happened that a way yeah
