how to swing those obbligatos around - william bolcom lyrics
he had shag hair & a boutique
in the bar he told me i had too much cl-ss
to be a telephone operator & i told him
he should have been thirty in 1940:
a gangster with patent leather shoes
to shine under girl’s skirts & a mother
who called him sonny. he should have
crashed a club where they catered
to the smart set, disposing of
the bouncer with you spent three months
in a plaster cast the last time
you tangled with me & i should have been
the singer in tight champagne
skin waiting for him to growl
i don’t know how to begin
this beguine but you certainly know how to
swing those obbligatos around & we
would fox-trot till a guy
he knew from sing sing cut in
& he said he loved old flicks
i should come up to his place & see
the art deco ashtrays on his shag rug
that i shouldn’t waste myself
at bell tel but marry him
& take his business calls &
i said how many years do you get
if they give you life
