King for a Day-Louis Armstrong/Dave Brubeck

King For A Day - Louis Armstrong Written by：Dave Brubeck/Iola Brubeck Man if they just let me run things my way This world would be a swinging place Yeah pops What would you do The first thing I'd do is call a basement session Uh pops you mean summit conference Man I don't mean a un kind of a session I mean a jam session If you're king for only a day How'd you go by having your way Well if my every wish is your command I'd go in from a swinging band With all the leaders from every land Can't you hear that messed up beat I'll tell you now you'll need defeat While they would fall right in a swinging groove And all the ism's gonna move Relationships is bound to improve How can they all agree on one melody Would each man call his own too They will want the song they played all along You're expecting too much too soon Don't you mind I'll swing this deal Just you seen the world of you Say it's the only session of it's kind Where how many you should've find The well can take a holiday If I'm king for a day Yes yes yes If I'm king for a day Pops You got eyes to wear a crown I might enjoy being king At all But if bonning was king And there's king oliver There's count basie And duke ellington And earl fatha hines Man quit driving me You know that cary noel That's his first name No Manny had me fooled all these years Although my king is wise Can't he realize Rome wasn't built in a day Won't a diplomat just be up to scat In a hypocritical way Not each day I'm playing jazz There'll be no such rizoma dance 'Cause it's the session where we jam the blues Cruise ship bound in bows and shoes Couldn't have the final take If I'm king for a day Day Yey Days If I'm king for a day
