The Trumpet Player's Lament

متن موزیک
Why do I have to play hot music
That's really not music?
Why do they make me take part in it
When I've no heart in it?
Give me Debussy
I don't know what you see in jazz
In spite of all the rhythm it has
Can't you get someone like Eub' to swing on his tuba?
Leave Vestey la Juba to me
I may be so-so, no great virtuoso
But I don't want to play hot music
Please let me be
I wish that I could play like Osie Itami
Instead of blowing notes into a derby
Someone who knows art
Take something from Mozart
To sing instead of swing
