There's a man that I know with a TV show
He can show you the chords that you need to know
He's amazing by far with his harmonies and melodies
He's always been that way
How can he produce chords of such great use?
I first met him a long time ago, Southside
He was standing in front of a club outside
Then I told him to go in and play
With the guys up on the stand
And his playing was grand.
Shortly after that day, I heard D.B. say
I need someone to help me out while Duke's away
He took lessons from Chris,
But he learned from them all
Then he packed up his bags
And split for the Big Apple in the fall
He arrived on the scene trying to find some work
Donald, Alfred, and Frank signed him up
To make a date, a bright young turk
He is constantly trying to improve
All of his skills and make his mark,
The man from Hyde Park.
