《The Old Music Master》歌词

[00:00:01] The Old Music Master - Nat King Cole

[00:00:21] One night long ago by the light of the moon

[00:00:26] An old music master sat composing a tune

[00:00:31] His heart was soaring and his heart full of joy

[00:00:36] When right out of nowhere stepped

[00:00:38] A little colored boy

[00:00:41] You gotta jump it music master

[00:00:44] You gotta play that rhythm faster

[00:00:46] You're never gonna get it played

[00:00:48] On the Happy Cat Hit Parade

[00:00:51] You better tell your friend Beethoven

[00:00:53] And Mister Reginald De Koven

[00:00:55] They better do the same as you

[00:00:57] Or they're gonna be corny too

[00:01:00] Long about nineteen seventeen

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

[00:01:04] Then about nineteen thirty-five

[00:01:06] You'll begin to hear swing

[00:01:07] Boogie Woogie and Jive

[00:01:09] You gotta show that big broadcaster

[00:01:11] That you're a solid music master

[00:01:13] And you'll achieve posterity

[00:01:15] That's a bit of advice from me

[00:01:22] The old music master simply sat there amazed

[00:01:27] As wide-eyed and open-mouthed

[00:01:29] He gazed and he gazed

[00:01:32] How can you be certain little boy tell me how

[00:01:36] Because I was born my friend

[00:01:39] A hundred years from now

[00:01:41] He hit a chord that rocked the spinet

[00:01:44] And disappeared into the infinite

[00:01:46] And up until the present day

[00:01:48] In the haple way

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

[00:02:11] And disappeared into the infinite

[00:02:13] And up until the present day

[00:02:15] You can take it from me

[00:02:17] He's as right as can be

[00:02:20] Ev'rything has happened that away
