Goodbye Pork Pie Hat Songtext
von Rahsaan Roland Kirk

He put all of his soul
Into a tenor saxophone
He had his way a talking
′T was a language of his own

Life story love and glory
If you listen when he plays it for you
Now listen and listen, and dig it-
Can't you dig it?
Lester Young is playing what he′s feeling
Dealing and dancing

Now someone might have told you
Lester Young, he's out of style
But now I'm here to tell you
Tell you, Prez is happening right now


Life′s story, love and glory if you listen
When he plays it for you
Now listen, and listen, and dig it
Can′t you dig it?
Lester Young is playing what he's feeling
Dealing and dancing you home

He put all of his soul
Into a tenor saxophone
He had his way a talking
′T was a language of his own

Life story love and glory
If you listen when he plays it for you
Now listen and listen, and dig it-
Can't you dig it?
Lester Young is playing what he′s feeling
Dealing and dancing

Now someone might have told you
Lester Young, he's out of style (out of style)
But now I′m here to tell you
Tell you, Prez is happening right now


Life's story, love and glory if you listen
When he plays it for you
Now listen, and listen, and dig it
Can't you dig it?
Lester Young is playing what he′s feeling
Dealing and dancing you home

Well, well, well, well...
Pressed, real pressed
