Lyrics

David Matthews
Late Night T.V.

In the 20s-when I was cool-my trumpet really blared
Played my horn-sang a bit-to a crowd that seemed to care
Had a chance to show this swinging world
My style and my skill

With the old soft shoe-the same three notes
A move and half a dance
If you don?t see me around-Check Late Night T.V.

In the 30s-in my real sharp suit-I lead this great big band
Made a name for myself-made a movie-had Gene Krupa
on the stand
Had a chance to show this swinging world
My style and my skill

Now I?m gone-I?ll play for you and I will play for free
I?ll play so loud-you won?t hear the enemy
It?s your turn now-You?re on your own-maybe look for me
