A bonafide legend blew in close the other night
Said she wouldn't stay long
Quickly, I took her alms of chardonnay
She told me she was on her way
The Georgia peach oozed class in her silken scarf
Can you imagine the raff in that bar?
Stone cold sober in her noiry gaze
Some sort of confidence birthed brazen praise
Once upon a Broadway, mainstays fulla flint
Sober young stylists could now bear the glint
They paved way for me to boogie on with jazz
though i just met this babe born right before my time
How was I to gauge, the lady far from staged?
Said my thoughts were caged that she'd defanged
Leapt across the cage to leave a note for me
Without thinking, soon had her in my beow seat
I was something back then
Before that was back then
Oh to make it back then
I was something back then
Once upon a Broadway where jive could pay the rent
sober young stylists couldn't hug they bent
They paved way for me to buddy up with class
Though I just met this babe, born right, subdued and spright
