Lyrics

Part one

Lisa and Bleeding Gums Murphy:

Before I was saved,

By my better half.

I once disappeared,

In a black-and-white photograph.

Part two

Bleeding Gums Murphy:

Well, I hear the man say,

Heads up, fellas.

I hear the band play,

Monk's new tune.

My ears hear,

The music my hands.

Were blessed to play.

[instrumental]
