What does an artist want but to do what he/she does best and have all his/her needs (and wants) provided...
|
(A)
Somewhere on this planet there’s a
place where you can play the pieces
that you please, for which they give you
all the cash you need.
Room and board and transportation, everything is set.
Everything you’ve ever wanted is the deal you get.
Everything you need, nothing is excluded.
Anywhere you go, everything provided.
(A)
Everywhere you go, it’s down to
living in the room you’re living
in, until you know it is the
time to leave to play.
Everywhere you’re hungry, thirsty, either cold or hot.
Everywhere you’re lonely, lustful, either rains or not.
Anyplace you go, you’re the one that’s wanted.
Ten-star class A room, everything provided.
(B)
Amsterdam or San Francisco or Manhattan
or Copenhagen to do what inspires.
Just with a jazz song, a great solo on the pi-
ano is all that the good life requires.
Making the music that makes everything come to-
gether they cannot but love.
Just by the virtue of what you can do they will
dearly regard you with love.
(A)
Venture after venues, ever
wending, making new songs, always
counting on the house, then to the
room you’re living in.
Paid for all you’re worth and vouched for all you’ve every need.
Always having what it takes in talent to succeed.
Everything you need, nothing is excluded.
Anyplace you go, everything provided.
