Gutterball - Lester Young lyrics

rate me

Wipe the smile off your face, baby<br />

This stuff just ain't enough<br />

Smashed all of the 78s, baby<br />

Made up a song for Lester Young<br />

Improvised on the waffle iron<br />

Tore up the back room in D-natural<br />

Wipe the smile off your face, baby<br />

This stuff just ain't enough<br />

Emptied out the medicine chest<br />

I drank a toast to your health<br />

Chased the diet pills with Nyquil, honey<br />

Felt pretty good myself<br />

Had a dream I was Lester Young<br />

At the Savoy on a Saturday night<br />

Wipe the smile off your face, baby<br />

It's gonna be alright<br />

Got the tape recorder running, honey<br />

We'll send a copy to your mom<br />

Roll off the high end, baby<br />

This ain't no cause for alarm<br />

Stompin' down at the Savoy<br />

Yeah, this one goes out to the Prez<br />

Raise up another high ball, babe<br />

And lay it down to<br />

Rest
