Earth quates and my bug breaks
You need a light to see though the smog
It’s like D-day out on free way
I’d like to crawl back under my log
All these Rolls Royce Hip Roll down the sunset strip
just like Pharaos down the Nile
Sometimes I just forget to smile
Dog bites lost kites
he says thanks but he never says please
We both shave and we jump waves
He never has much skin on his knees
You know he’s got the habit now for Peter rabbit now
and Disney crocoldiles
Some times I just forget to smile
All these movie stars and all these Janand Tarzan just to,
run the trees minute mile
Sometimes I just forget to smile
Just buy it - along with his second album, Sleeping Gypsy, both masterpieces - so well written the then top jazz group in the world, the Crusaders, played as his back up band - with no cover billing. Romantic, breezy and appropriate for any listening, with virtuoso musical performances and world class romantic lyrics delivered with elegance and class. Once you love those two, buy Tiger in the Rain which is almost as good - all three are in another league from his later work - they are bliss.
