《The Old Music Master》歌词

[00:00:00] The Old Music Master - Hoagy Carmichael (霍奇·卡迈克尔)

[00:00:08] One night long ago by the light of the moon

[00:00:12] 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

[00:00:35] You better tell your friend Beethoven

[00:00:36] And Mister Reginald De Koven

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

[00:00:41] 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

[00:00:50] Boogie woogie and jive

[00:00:52] You gotta show that big broadcaster

[00:00:53] That you're a solid music master

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

[00:00:58] That's a bit of advice from me

[00:01:00] The old music master

[00:01:02] 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 my friend

[00:01:14] A 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 the scene

[00:02:03] Then about 1935

[00:02:04] You'll begin to hear swing

[00:02:05] Boogie woogie and 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
