[00:04.68]Music by Charles Mingus
[00:05.31]When Charlie speaks of Lester
[00:07.44]You know someone great has gone
[00:10.95]The sweetest swinging music man
[00:15.90]Had a Porkie Pig hat on
[00:17.37]A bright star
[01:48.69]In a dark age
[01:49.02]When the bandstands had a thousand ways
[01:54.87]Of refusing a black man admission
[01:58.56]Black musician
[02:01.05]In those days they put him in an
[02:02.01]Underdog position
[02:02.49]Cellars and chittlins'
[02:02.97]When Lester took him a wife
[02:34.08]Arm and arm went black and white
[02:35.01]And some saw red
[02:35.40]And drove them from their hotel bed
[02:36.21]Love is never easy
[02:44.55]It's short of the hope we have for happiness
[02:46.20]Bright and sweet
[02:54.57]Love is never easy street
[02:55.32]Now we are black and white
[02:56.04]Embracing out in the lunatic New York night
[02:57.66]It's very unlikely we'll be driven out of town
[02:59.52]Or be hung in a tree
[03:00.96]That's unlikely
[03:01.59]Tonight these crowds
[03:02.58]Are happy and loud
[03:06.81]Children are up dancing in the streets
[03:11.28]In the sticky middle of the night
[03:12.30]Summer serenade
[03:12.69]Of taxi horns and fun arcades
[03:13.47]Where right or wrong
[03:14.01]Under neon
[03:14.46]Every feeling goes on
[03:14.94]For you and me
[03:15.30]The sidewalk is a history book
[03:18.57]And a circus
[03:18.90]Dangerous clowns
[03:20.85]Balancing dreadful and wonderful perceptions
[03:21.96]They have been handed
[03:22.44]Day by day
[04:21.39]Generations on down
[04:21.87]We came up from the subway
[04:22.83]On the music midnight makes
[04:23.49]To Charlie's bass and Lester's saxophone
[04:29.64]In taxi horns and brakes
[04:30.30]Now Charlie's down in Mexico
[04:30.96]With the healers
[04:34.17]So the sidewalk leads us with music
[04:34.98]To two little dancers
[04:35.49]Dancing outside a black bar
[04:36.60]There's a sign up on the awning
[04:38.52]It says
[04:38.73]Pork Pie Hat Bar
[04:40.50]And there's black babies dancing
[04:47.97]Tonight
