Don't want to dis-cuss it,

Think it's time for a change.

You may get dis-gusted,

(with Above Riff):

And start thinkin' that I'm actin' strange.

Get some heavy rest.

There's no need for argu-ment,

And if you never hear from him,

That just means I would rather not... Hit it!

*from 'His Band and the Street Choir' (1971)*

Intro:

Verse 1:

All the people were waiting for Crazy Face,

He said he'd meet them at his favourite place.

Dressed in black satin, white linen and lace,

With his head held high and a smile on his face. And he said;

"Ladies and gentlemen; The Prince is late",

As he stood outside the church-yard gate.

And polished up on his .38 and said;

"I got it from Jesse James".

Never to grow old... on the saxo-phone.

From the airport, to the plane, a-way to the railroad trains.

Call me up in Dreamland, radio to me man.

Get the message to me, anyway you can.

Well, let your river roll, a-way down in your soul,

Never to grow old... on the saxo-phone.

From the car, to the bar; or why don't you pour it in a jar?

An put a label on it, and send it off to the lost and found.

Every time your number comes a-round. (Here it comes);
