《The Old Music Master》歌词

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

[00:00:10] One night long ago by the light of the moon

[00:00:14] An old music master sat composing a tune

[00:00:18] His spirit was soaring and his heart full of joy

[00:00:23] When right out of nowhere stepped

[00:00:25] A little colored boy

[00:00:27] You gotta jump it music master

[00:00:30] You gotta play that rhythm faster

[00:00:32] You're never gonna get it played

[00:00:34] On the Happy Cat Hit Parade

[00:00:36] You better tell your friend Beethoven

[00:00:38] And Mister Reginald De Koven

[00:00:40] They better do the same as you

[00:00:42] Or they're gonna be corny too

[00:00:44] Long about 1917

[00:00:47] Jazz'll come upon the scene

[00:00:49] Then about 1935

[00:00:51] You'll begin to hear swing

[00:00:52] Boogie woogie and jive

[00:00:53] You gotta show that big broadcaster

[00:00:55] That you're a solid music master

[00:00:57] And you'll achieve posterity

[00:00:59] That's a bit of advice from me

[00:01:01] The old music master

[00:01:03] Simply sat there amazed

[00:01:06] As wide-eyed and open-mouthed

[00:01:08] He gazed and he gazed

[00:01:10] How can you be certain little boy

[00:01:13] Tell me how

[00:01:14] Because I was born my friend

[00:01:17] A hundred years from now

[00:01:19] He hit a chord that rocked the spinet

[00:01:21] And disappeared into the infinite

[00:01:23] And up until the present day

[00:01:25] You can take it from me

[00:01:26] He's as right as can be

[00:01:27] Ev'rything has happened that-a-way

[00:02:03] Because I was born my friend

[00:02:07] A hundred years from now

[00:02:10] He hit a chord that rocked the spinet

[00:02:12] And disappeared into the infinite

[00:02:14] And up until the present day

[00:02:16] You can take it from me

[00:02:18] He's as right as can be

[00:02:19] Ev'rything has happened that-a-way
