Checkered hat
I remember a warm quick smile
And that dry kind of wit he had down path
A cool lie to the world
In his checkered hat
I remember a poet's soul
Singing out where the real beauty was at
Detached, yet so aware
Underneath that checkered hat
What he felt inside
Everyone who heard him knew
For with each line and phrase he opened his heart
Opened it up wide to all those around
Weaving an easy, clinging, mellow, swinging velvet sound
What a beautiful man he was
You don't find anyone finer than that
A real one of a kind
In a jaunty checkered hat
What he felt inside
Everyone who heard him knew
For with each line and phrase he opened his heart
Opened it up wide to all those around
Weaving an easy, clinging, mellow, swinging velvet sound
What a beautiful man he was
You don't find anyone finer than that
A real one of a kind
In a jaunty checkered hat
And that dry kind of wit he had down path
A cool lie to the world
In his checkered hat
I remember a poet's soul
Singing out where the real beauty was at
Detached, yet so aware
Underneath that checkered hat
What he felt inside
Everyone who heard him knew
For with each line and phrase he opened his heart
Opened it up wide to all those around
Weaving an easy, clinging, mellow, swinging velvet sound
What a beautiful man he was
You don't find anyone finer than that
A real one of a kind
In a jaunty checkered hat
What he felt inside
Everyone who heard him knew
For with each line and phrase he opened his heart
Opened it up wide to all those around
Weaving an easy, clinging, mellow, swinging velvet sound
What a beautiful man he was
You don't find anyone finer than that
A real one of a kind
In a jaunty checkered hat
