Taps on his feet
Hittin’ the pavement with a clean beat
Walkin’ bass thumpin’ in his chest
Tuxedo jacket in a grand piano hand
A trumpet blast flash of a smile
The sax section risin’ behind those eyes
A muted trombone slippery slides:
“Hey, Sweet Thang, you sho’ look fine!”
The Numbers King is with us once again
Walkin’ down the street
Like a Big Band.
