Goodbye Pork Pie Hat
He put all of his soul
Into a tenor saxophone
He had his way a talking
'T was a language of his own
Life story love and glory
If you listen when he plays it for you
Now listen and listen, and dig it-
Can't you dig it?
Lester Young is playing what he's feeling
Dealing and dancing
Now someone might have told you
Lester Young, he's out of style
But now I'm here to tell you
Tell you, Prez is happening right now
Life's story, love and glory if you listen
When he plays it for you
Now listen, and listen, and dig it
Can't you dig it?
Lester Young is playing what he's feeling
Dealing and dancing you home
He put all of his soul
Into a tenor saxophone
He had his way a talking
'T was a language of his own
Life story love and glory
If you listen when he plays it for you
Now listen and listen, and dig it-
Can't you dig it?
Lester Young is playing what he's feeling
Dealing and dancing
Now someone might have told you
Lester Young, he's out of style (out of style)
But now I'm here to tell you
Tell you, Prez is happening right now
Life's story, love and glory if you listen
When he plays it for you
Now listen, and listen, and dig it
Can't you dig it?
Lester Young is playing what he's feeling
Dealing and dancing you home
Well, well, well, well...
Pressed, real pressed
Into a tenor saxophone
He had his way a talking
'T was a language of his own
Life story love and glory
If you listen when he plays it for you
Now listen and listen, and dig it-
Can't you dig it?
Lester Young is playing what he's feeling
Dealing and dancing
Now someone might have told you
Lester Young, he's out of style
But now I'm here to tell you
Tell you, Prez is happening right now
Life's story, love and glory if you listen
When he plays it for you
Now listen, and listen, and dig it
Can't you dig it?
Lester Young is playing what he's feeling
Dealing and dancing you home
He put all of his soul
Into a tenor saxophone
He had his way a talking
'T was a language of his own
Life story love and glory
If you listen when he plays it for you
Now listen and listen, and dig it-
Can't you dig it?
Lester Young is playing what he's feeling
Dealing and dancing
Now someone might have told you
Lester Young, he's out of style (out of style)
But now I'm here to tell you
Tell you, Prez is happening right now
Life's story, love and glory if you listen
When he plays it for you
Now listen, and listen, and dig it
Can't you dig it?
Lester Young is playing what he's feeling
Dealing and dancing you home
Well, well, well, well...
Pressed, real pressed
