《The Old Music Master》歌词

[00:00:00] The Old Music Master - Paul Adam & His Mayfair Music/Geraldo & His Orchestra

[00:00:03] One night long ago by the light of the moon

[00:00:06] An old music master sat composing a tune

[00:00:08] His spirit was soaring and his heart full of joy

[00:00:11] When right out of nowhere

[00:00:16] Stepped a little colored boy

[00:00:20] You gotta jump it music master

[00:00:23] You gotta play that rhythm faster

[00:00:25] You're never gonna get it played

[00:00:28] On the Happy Cat Hit Parade

[00:00:31] You better tell your friend Beethoven

[00:00:34] And Mister Reginald De Koven

[00:00:37] They better do the same as you

[00:00:39] Or they're gonna be corny too

[00:00:42] Long about 1917

[00:00:45] Jazz'll come right on the scene

[00:00:47] Then about 19 let me see 35

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

[00:00:51] Boogie woogie and jive

[00:00:53] You'd better tell that big broadcaster

[00:00:56] That you're a solid music master

[00:00:59] And you'll achieve posterity

[00:01:01] That's a bit of advice from me

[00:01:10] The old music master

[00:01:10] Simply sat there amazed

[00:01:12] As wide-eyed and open-mouthed

[00:01:13] He gazed and he gazed

[00:01:15] How can you be certain little boy

[00:01:16] Tell me how

[00:01:18] Because I was born

[00:01:19] A hundred years from now

[00:01:24] He hit a chord that rocked the spinet

[00:01:26] And disappeared into the infinite

[00:01:29] And up until the present day

[00:01:32] You can take it from me

[00:01:33] He's as right as can be

[00:01:34] Ev'rything has happened that-a-way
