FESS AND THE DOCTOR
© 2006 Dave Keyes/Keyesland Music
I'd like to pay my respects to the guys I love
Tickling the ivories with a velvet glove
From the Fess and the Dr.
We get a sign from above
Chorus:
Give me Fess and the Dr. all night long
Just give me Fess and the Dr. all night long
Keep those hands warm and rockin'
Open up the door I hear heaven knockin'
Just give me Fess and the Dr. all night long
See old Davey acting crazy, his sail needs wind today
He worked too hard and thought too much
Then he heard that music play
And he could smell that gumbo 20 miles away
CHORUS
When I die and I go to the sky
There's just one thing I can say
When I see St. Peter at the pearly gates
I want to hear that music play
There'll be Fess and Bird, Satchmo and Prez, Benny and Teddy,
The Duke and the Count, The King and the Father, Wilie the Lion,
Bessie, Lady Day, Tuts, Fats, Kid, Booker, Tatum ooh.....
They gonna blow my blues away
CHORUS
