Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Marcellus walked off the stage
Soon as the solo was over
But, yes, he did leave the stage
Clean out of sight, now
[Verse 2]
Coltrane, he walked off the stage
That's what you folks all are saying
But, yes, he did leave the stage
And that's a fact, now
[Verse 3]
They felt they had to rehearse
Although we know they are masters
They get a real mellow sound
And you will have to admit it
[Verse 4]
I guess they both left the stage
Soon as the solos were over
And if you can't figure out
Their groove, I'd like to help you
[Verse 5]
Well, my friends, now about Miles Davis
I never know why some people always try to find
Support of his band and his horn
And when they go to wherever he is playing
They seem to go to see whether he is gonna turn the business
[Verse 6]
He never walks around the place to speak so all of the folks
He don't know, I wouldn't either
And neither would you, friends
[Verse 7]
But I, I know he is friendly
I knew the rest of us, we do
Oh, yes, we did, it's beautiful so and we love him and his blue horn
Here's another thing, now
About the clothes he wear, I'm sure his style is in the future
He is so cool, the fit of his clothes is perfect
Just like the way he plays, he's not afraid of bein' different
And he has one lost pose in his modern jazz
He and Gillespie are kings
Ozzie and his group and breakin' records, yeah
'Cause they sure do swing
[Verse 8]
Miles Davis walked off the stage
That's what the folks all are saying
Oh, yes, he did leave the stage
Soon as the solo was over
Coltrane, he walked off the stage
That's what the people are saying
Oh, yes, they both left the stage
Clean out of sight, now
They said they had to rehearse
Although we know they are masters
They get a real mellow sound
And you will have to admit it
And, yes, they both left the stage
Soon as the solos were over
If you can't figure out
Their groove, well, I have helped you
