c17i10232l222158bii8j
Don't you know, he was the king of saxophones
c17i10232l222158bii8j
Yes indeed he was
c17i10232l222158bii8j
Talkin' 'bout the guy that made it sound so good
c17i10232l222158bii8j
Some people knew him by the Bean
c17i10232l222158bii8j
But Hawkins was his name
c17i10232l222158bii8j
c17i10232l222158bii8j
He sure could swing and play pretty too
c17i10232l222158bii8j
Sounds good to me -- should sound good to you
c17i10232l222158bii8j
I love to hear him playing Body and Soul
c17i10232l222158bii8j
Very pleasing to the ear
c17i10232l222158bii8j
c17i10232l222158bii8j
When I first heard it on the record
c17i10232l222158bii8j
I just stopped-- right there,
c17i10232l222158bii8j
Sounded like a band of angels in the sky,
c17i10232l222158bii8j
And I have never ever heard a sweeter tone
c17i10232l222158bii8j
I fact I pay no 'ttention to the saxophone
c17i10232l222158bii8j
'Til Coleman Hawkins came along and spoke to everyone --
c17i10232l222158bii8j
Saying better listen won't you hear me,
c17i10232l222158bii8j
While I play for you --
c17i10232l222158bii8j
c17i10232l222158bii8j
Sometimes it's hot
c17i10232l222158bii8j
Then again it's blue
c17i10232l222158bii8j
My soul just seems to wander,
c17i10232l222158bii8j
Pleasing each and everyone --
c17i10232l222158bii8j
It's what I've long been craving for
c17i10232l222158bii8j
c17i10232l222158bii8j
The doors have not been always open,
c17i10232l222158bii8j
But I am trying to please you.
c17i10232l222158bii8j
Please don't stop me.
c17i10232l222158bii8j
Hope you like it folks
c17i10232l222158bii8j
c17i10232l222158bii8j
And then he started cookin' --
c17i10232l222158bii8j
Everytime he played
c17i10232l222158bii8j
Some melodic melody fast or slow
c17i10232l222158bii8j
You could tell that it was Hawkins --
c17i10232l222158bii8j
c17i10232l222158bii8j
No other one ever has
c17i10232l222158bii8j
Quite captured his tone
c17i10232l222158bii8j
Just he alone --
c17i10232l222158bii8j
Has the sound that penetrates
c17i10232l222158bii8j
It will sure go right through you
c17i10232l222158bii8j
Yes it will --
c17i10232l222158bii8j
And every chorus gives you just another thrill
c17i10232l222158bii8j
c17i10232l222158bii8j
Then along came Eddie Jefferson
c17i10232l222158bii8j
He sang the melody like Hawkins played it
c17i10232l222158bii8j
He sang it true
c17i10232l222158bii8j
He sang it blue
c17i10232l222158bii8j
Made words for it too
c17i10232l222158bii8j
c17i10232l222158bii8j
All his fans in New York loved him
c17i10232l222158bii8j
There's no one above him
c17i10232l222158bii8j
Here in the USA
c17i10232l222158bii8j
I've heard 'em say ol' Eddie was the man
c17i10232l222158bii8j
c17i10232l222158bii8j
Oh how he could sing
c17i10232l222158bii8j
Man did he swing
c17i10232l222158bii8j
Sang on the wing, did his own thing
c17i10232l222158bii8j
Yes he did
c17i10232l222158bii8j
c17i10232l222158bii8j
Throughout the country --
c17i10232l222158bii8j
Music lovers are still wiggin' on Eddie's singin'
c17i10232l222158bii8j
All around the world -- he is known
c17i10232l222158bii8j
Rhythm was his special joy --
c17i10232l222158bii8j
He swung it like a horn
c17i10232l222158bii8j
c17i10232l222158bii8j
He must have been born to be a singer
c17i10232l222158bii8j
'Cause his lyrics were so sincere and true
c17i10232l222158bii8j
Funny sad or blue
c17i10232l222158bii8j
Oh yeah!
c17i10232l222158bii8j
c17i10232l222158bii8j
And we've got to remind you
c17i10232l222158bii8j
Many years it took him
c17i10232l222158bii8j
Singing every day to achieve his first claim to fame
c17i10232l222158bii8j
c17i10232l222158bii8j
He was twenty years ahead of his time
c17i10232l222158bii8j
And he knew it
c17i10232l222158bii8j
But he kept right on-a singing
c17i10232l222158bii8j
He went all around the world making rhythm
c17i10232l222158bii8j
'Cause music sure was in him and he knew it was
c17i10232l222158bii8j
c17i10232l222158bii8j
Sang with Moody and Richie Cole
c17i10232l222158bii8j
He could sing it just like Bird
c17i10232l222158bii8j
But his forte was the words he wrote to
c17i10232l222158bii8j
Music that he sang
c17i10232l222158bii8j
c17i10232l222158bii8j
So he sang, and he sang
c17i10232l222158bii8j
And he sang his words so clever
c17i10232l222158bii8j
And I know they'll silence him never
c17i10232l222158bii8j
'Cause he cut this masterpiece
c17i10232l222158bii8j
c17i10232l222158bii8j
And now we're trying to sing it for you
c17i10232l222158bii8j
Hope the Bean and Eddie both would still approve
c17i10232l222158bii8j
There we go
c17i10232l222158bii8j
We didn't mean to reminisce
c17i10232l222158bii8j
You can surely bet
c17i10232l222158bii8j
That we won't forget
c17i10232l222158bii8j
'Cause we hear them yet
c17i10232l222158bii8j
Goodbye
c17i10232l222158bii8j
