Lyrics 52nd Street Theme - Live - Charlie Parker

And once again, ladies and gentlemen, we take you back to the Royal Roost
Metropolitan Opera House where you sit back and relax every night, every morning
And listen to a lot of the wonderful and modern jazz
That I hope you really enjoy

And as our surprise for this morning, here on the all-night, all-frantic fun
With our microphones down here at Royal Roost
We bring to you once again, the wonderful and outstanding
Charlie Parker and his wonderful organization

That's right, for the weekend ladies and gentlemen
We're bringing the great Charlie Parker and his wonderful organization
Featuring Miles Davis on trumpet, Max Roach on drums
Tad Dameron on Piano Curley Russell on bass

I know that you'll have a lot of fun over the weekend
Come on down and take the great Charlie Parker
The one and only, the man of jazz
And to start things jumping off, let's hear
The original done by, or written by, Thelonious Monk
Out of the RCA Victor album
Here's "52nd Street Theme"
