Straight, No Chaser-Thelonious Monk

Well Monk set it straight, It's not a time you can wait, You gotta be on, you gotta be strong, The time is here. So trust your life to your ear, Don't wait for no one, You'll have to go on, Because this moment is the place Where it happens and there's no one who can Help set it straight.Now Monk had a way Of being out of his day Ahead of his time Not in the same rhyme With other guys He was uncommonly wise He knew the answer That time's a dancer He knew you can't Pack up the moment and Take it with you on the road 'Cause now is the time
