Trumpet Player's Lament Lyrics
Trumpet Player's Lament - Louis Armstrong
Lyrics by：Johnny Burke/James Vincent Monaco
Why do I have play
Hot music that's really not music
Why do they make me take part in it
When I've no part in it
Give me Debussy
I don't know what you see in Jazz
In spite of the rhythm it has
Can't you het someone like Yuba
To swing on his tuba
Me pasti La Juba to me
I may be so so no great virtuoso
But I don't want to play hot music
Please let me be
I wish that I could play like Jose
It jokley
Instead of blowing notes into a derby
Someone who knows art take something from Mozart
To sing instead of swing
