Monks New Tune

Verse 1:
Before I was saved by my better half, I
Once disappeared in a black and white photograph
That I was just staring at
Framed on someone's wall

How long it lasted I could not say, but
All of my heroes returned to play one last gig
And there was I, in the
Middle of it all

Chorus:
I'm drinkin Mai Thais, with pink umbrellas
I'm thinking "My
how
High the moon."

I hear the man
say
"Heads up fellas."
I hear the band
play
Monk's new tune

(Short Piano Solo)

We were bad
We could perpetrate the beat
Seeing plaid
How could we stay on our feet
Rumors spread
Clear down 52nd street
As we played Monk's new tune

(Sax Solo)

Verse 2:
Since you're a skeptic I'll say no more
Of
course this was happening way back
Before, before, but
Nevertheless, it was very real to me

Exactly like it was yesterday, my
Ears hear the music my hands were blessed to play
Inside that picture that took command of me

Chorus:
I'm drinkin Mai Thais, with pink umbrellas
I'm thinking "My
how
High the moon."

I hear the man
say
"Heads up fellas."
I hear the band
play
Monk's new tune

We were bad
We could perpetrate the beat
Seeing plaid
How could we stay on our feet
Rumors spread
Clear down 52nd street
As we played Monk's new tune

We were bad
We could perpetrate the beat
Seeing plaid
How could we stay on our feet
Rumors spread
Clear down 52nd street
As we played Monk's new tune

(Piano Solo)

We were bad
We could perpetrate the beat
Seeing plaid
How could we stay on our feet
Rumors spread
Clear down 52nd street
As we played Monk's new tune

We were bad
We could perpetrate the beat
Seeing plaid
How could we stay on our feet
Rumors spread
Clear down 52nd street
As we played Monk's new tune

We were bad
We could perpetrate the beat
Seeing plaid
How could we stay on our feet
Rumors spread
Clear down 52nd street
As we played Monk's new tune

We were bad
We could perpetrate the beat
Seeing plaid
How could we stay on our feet
Rumors spread
Clear down 52nd street
As we played Monk's new tune
