Trumpet Player's Lament

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
