His face was black 
He smoked lucky charms
He sat way in back
Folded his arms
I couldn’t help but notice him straight away
He looked at me
So intensely
Like I was on display

So I stepped up and played my composition
With much conviction

And the cool jazz cat
Just laughed when he heard it
Like it wasn’t nothing he ain’t heard before
Yes the cool jazz cat 
Just laughed when he heard it
And so I played it again
And the cool jazz cat sat in

So I sung my song
He played along
I bought him a couple drinks
And then he was gone
He just vanished right into thin air
It’s like a dream
Though it might seem
Quite real up there

As we’re just jamming away and getting groovy
Like in a movie

And the cool jazz cat 
Is just laughing
Ain’t nothing you can play 
That he ain’t played before
Yes the cool jazz cat
Just laughs if he likes it
And if you play it again 
Well, the cool jazz cat
Just might find the time
To go ahead and sit on in
