PARKER'S MOOD by Charlie Parker and King Pleasure



Parker's Mood
                                     by Charlie Parker, King Pleasure
                                     (c) EMI Music, Atlantic Music

               Come with me if you want to go to Kansas City
               I'm feeling low down and blue, my heart's full of sorrow
               Don't hardly know what to do
               Where will I be tomorrow?

               Going to Kansas City
               Wanna go too?
               No you can't make with me
               Going to Kansas City
               Sorry that I can't take you

               When you see me coming raise your window high
               When you see me leaving baby hang your head and cry
               I'm afraid there's nothing in this squeamish dreamy town
               a honky tonky, monky woman can do
               She'd only bring herself down.

               So long everybody, the time has come and I must leave you
               So if I don't ever see your smiling face again
               Make a promise you'll remember like a Christmas day in December
               that I told you all through thick and thin on up until the end, Parker's been your friend
           
               Don't hang your head when you see, when you see those six pretty horses pulling me
               Put a twenty dollar silver piece on my watch chain, look at the smile on my face
               Sing a little song to let the world know I'm really free
               Don't cry for me cause I'm going to Kansas City

               Come with me if you want to go to Kansas City

(c) 1964 T.M. Music Oh, when the sun beats down And burns the tar up on the roof And your shoes get so hot You wish your tired feet were fireproof Under the boardwalk Down by the sea, yeah On a blanket with my baby Is where I'll be (Under the boardwalk) Out of the sun (Under the boardwalk) We'll be having some fun (Under the boardwalk) People walking above (Under the boardwalk) We'll be falling in love (Under the boardwalk, boardwalk) In the park you hear The happy sound of the carousel You can almost taste the hot dogs French fries they sell Under the boardwalk Down by the sea, yeah On a blanket with my baby Is where I'll be (Under the boardwalk) Out of the sun (Under the boardwalk) We'll be having some fun (Under the boardwalk) People walking above (Under the boardwalk) We'll be falling in love (Under the boardwalk, boardwalk) [Instrumental Interlude] Oh, under the boardwalk Down by the sea On a blanket with my baby is wh...

CITY OF ANGELS BY William Griffin and Warren Moore (c) 1976 Grimora Music Co.

Walking your seashores and staring in to space Dreaming of your people that possess your charm and grace Oh I love you L.A. (City of Angels) Please don’t go away (Please don’t go) (Please don’t go away) Will you fall into the sea? (Will you fall into the sea?) And forsake me. City of angels you have faults in your land People say you’ll crumble and your beauty will no longer stand Oh I love you L.A. (City of Angels) Please don’t go away (Please don’t go)(Please don’t go away) Will you fall into the sea? (Will you fall into the sea?) And forsake me. Will you disappear from the earth just like Atlantis did? Each and every night I’ll say a prayer for heaven to forbid I could never live without you my salvation I would give to you If you stay (please stay) don’t go away (don’t go away) Your soft breeze through the palm trees whisper longing goodbyes Vibrations say you’re fading as the tears nestle in my eyes. Oh I love you L.A. (City of Angels) Please don’t go away (Pl...
