Lyrics:
Don't you know, he was the king of saxophones Yes indeed he was; Talkin? ?bout the guy that made it sound so good Some people knew him by the bean But hawkins was his name He sure could swing and play pretty too Sounds good to me -- should sound good to you I love to hear him playing body and soul Very pleasing to the ear When I first heard it on the record I just stopped-- right there, Sounded like a band of angels in the sky, And I have never ever heard a sweeter tone I fact I pay no ?ttention to the saxophone ?til coleman hawkins came along and spoke to everyone -- Saying better listen won't you hear me, While I play for you -- Sometimes it's hot Then again it's blue My soul just seems to wander, Pleasing each and everyone -- It's what I've long been craving for The doors have not been always open, But I am trying to please you. Please don't stop me. Hope you like it folks And then he started cookin? -- Everytime he played Some melodic melody fast or slow You could tell that it was hawkins -- No other one ever has Quite captured his tone Just he alone -- Has the sound that penetrates It will sure go right through you Yes it will -- And every chorus gives you just another thrill Then along came eddie jefferson He sang the melody like hawkins played it He sang it true He sang it blue Made words for it too All his
