Goodbye Pork Pie Hat

1959 Charles Mingus
Lyrics by Joni Mitchell

AKA Theme for Lester Young

“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?”
