Trumpet Man (Tribute to Miles Davis)

No, I don't turn on No, I won't turn off Yes, I do relate Still participate Ain't gotta know what I'm talkin' 'bout Ain't gotta know what I'm sayin' Ain't gotta know what the game is all about But still you gotta know that you're playin' We don't, we don't, we don't know the melody We do, we do, we do know the song There's a message in the music of the trumpet man Trumpet man, trumpet man, trumpet man Play us your song All night long You know, you know, you know The beat goes on All night long There's a funky phrase Deep beneath the bass Hidden in the sound The trumpet man plays All you need is a touch of the melody All you need is the rhythm of the song It could mean anything that you want it to Ooh kay ya, ooh kay ya You can sing with the band if you wanna sing You can dance to the rhythm of the song There's a message in the music of the trumpet man Trumpet man, trumpet man, trumpet man Play us your song All night long (All night, all night) You know, you know, you know The beat goes on (Trumpet man play) All night long (All night long) Trumpet man, trumpet man, trumpet man Play us your song Trumpet man A man of mystery of thirty years Going down in history As the baddest jazz man He got the best hand playin' with his back to the crowd And they still stand tall while he's blowin' 'em all away A muted trumpet for anything he's got to say Cool or cold relaxin' he never had to struggle a day Just ask him - Miles "Tutu" or "The Lady of Spain" Anywhere you drop the needle, it's still the same Miles Now whether it's uptown or whether it's downtown or Bebop or swinging and steadily throwin' down He deserves the crown 'cause he's the king Doin' his own thing on the corner or in between The man and his black horn and he never had to sing
