Monk’s New Tune

Lyrics

[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 drinking mai tais 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 [Post-Chorus] We were bad! We could perpetrate the beat! Seeing plaid, how could we stay on our feet? Rumor spread clear down 52nd St As we played Monk's new tune [Verse 2] Since you're a skeptic I'll say no more Of course, this was happening way back before, before But nevertheless this was very real to me Exactly like it was yesterday My ears hear the music my hand were blessed to play Inside that picture that took command of me [Chorus] I'm drinking mai tais 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 [Post-Chorus] We were bad! We could perpetrate the beat! Seeing plaid, how could we stay on our feet? Rumor spread clear down 52nd St As we played Monk's new tune We were bad! We could perpetrate the beat! Seeing plaid, how could we stay on our feet? Rumor spread clear down 52nd St As we played Monk's new tune [Outro] We were bad! We could perpetrate the beat! Seeing plaid, how could we stay on our feet? Rumor spread clear down 52nd St As we played Monk's new tune We were bad! We could perpetrate the beat! Seeing plaid, how could we stay on our feet? Rumor spread clear down 52nd St As we played Monk's new tune We were bad! We could perpetrate the beat! Seeing plaid, how could we stay on our feet? Rumor spread clear down 52nd St As we played Monk's new tune We were bad! We could perpetrate the beat! Seeing plaid, how could we stay on our feet? Rumor spread clear down 52nd St As we played Monk's new tune We were bad! We could perpetrate the beat...
