Lyrics

There's a man that I know With a TV show He can show you the chord That you need to know He's amazing by far With his harmonies and melodies He's always been that way How can he produce chords of such great use? I first met him a long time ago South side He was standing in front of a club Outside Then I told him to go in and play With the guys up on the stand And his playing was grand Shortly after that day, I heard DB say I need someone to help me out While Duke's away He took lessons from Chris But he learnt from them all Then he packed up his bags and split For the Big Apple in the fall He arrived on the scene Tryna find some work Donald, Alfred and Frank signed him up To make a day a bright young Turk He is constantly trying to improve All of his skills and make his mark The man from Hyde Park Pee-pa-pee-pa-do-pa-doom Pa-doop-doop-doop-pee-o Do-we-uhm-ooooh-hay-uhm Pa-dooop-doop-wee-doo-doo Plee-plee-pa-doodle-wee-taa-dum Da-doodly-ooh-da-doo-pay-oh Pay-do-oh-da-da-weee Da-da-da-way-down Shortly after that day, I heard DB say I need someone to help me out While Duke's away He took lessons from Chris But he learnt from them all Then he packed up his bags and split For the Big Apple in the fall He arrived on the scene Tryna find some work Donald, Alfred and Frank signed him up To make a day a bright young Turk He is constantly trying to improve All of his skills and make his mark The man from Hyde Park, oh, oh, oh
