Friend friend
|
We are at it again
|
Blastin' off to Timbuktu
|
I said it before I'll say it again
|
We learned to be cool from you
|
|
Hey lady in the Mermaid Cafe
|
Bathed in a spotlight of blue
|
Singing those Sarah Vaughan songs until dawn
|
We learned to be cool from you
|
|
Maybe I can parlez a little Francais
|
Maybe I can even write a whole page a day
|
Do a crossword puzzle in a minute or two
|
But I learned to be cool from you
|
|
Hey Mr. Moustache look what we've done
|
Lived longer than they thought we could do
|
Through all of the games and all of our fame
|
We learned to stay cool from you
|
|
Hey there Leonard and Willie on the stage
|
Still singing your songs pure and true
|
Who would have thought that time could be bought
|
We learned to stay cool from you
|
|
Maybe I can parlez a little Francais
|
Maybe I can even write a whole page a day
|
Do a crossword puzzle in a minute or two
|
But I learned to be cool from you
|
|
You said it's more about music
|
And less about fame
|
You taught us it's okay
|
To play without shame
|
It's more about life
|
And the right thing to do
|
Hang on to the hullabaloo
|
|
Hey Captain Walter steering for the stars
|
Always knowing that your vision was true
|
It was your sign off note that kept us afloat
|
We learned to be cool from you
|
|
Maybe I can parlez a little Francais
|
Maybe I can still write a whole page a day
|
Do a crossword puzzle in a second or two
|
But I learned to be cool from you
|
I learned to be cool from you
|
