Lyrics
BLUE SKIES / IN WALKED BUD
(Irving Berlin / Thelonious Monk & Jon Hendricks)
Blue skies smiling at me
Nothing but blue skies do I see
Blue birds, singing a song
Nothing but blue birds all day long
Never saw the sun shining so bright
Never saw things going so right
Noticing the days hurrying by
When you’re in love my how they fly
Oh blue skies smiling at me
Nothing but blue skies do I see
Dizzy he was screaming
Next to O.P. who was beaming
Monk was thumping
Suddenly in walked Bud
And then they got into something
Oscar played a mean axe
Mr Byas blew a mean sax
Monk was thumping
Suddenly in walked Bud
And then the joint started jumping
Every hip stud really dug Bud
Soon as he hit town
Taking that note nobody wrote
Putting it down
O.P. played a mean string
Dizzy did a hip thing
Monk was thumping
Suddenly in walked Bud
And then they got into something
