Blue Monk 

Music by  Thelonious Monk 

 Lyrics by Ross Schneider

Now he play zig, then he play zag -
Always in his odd little bag
He wear that red hat -
There he sit jus' strokin' his beard -
Must admit he sho'kin play weird!
What that you say? Favorite song?
Hardly recognize it, the chords all wrong?
Why can't you see, he's charmin' me with his own harmony?
Man he's a genius! not jus' some buffoon like you thunk -
Better get in tune with "BLUE MONK"!
What can you do? Where can you start?
Sharpen up your mind and improve your heart -
Monk wrote this tune -- easy to sing -
Just a simple blue little thing -
But better watch out!
It could make your mind come updone
When he make you find two in one!
