Mexico City Blues - 43rd Chorus

from Jack and the Blues (1997) for soprano and piano by Thomas Oboe Lee

/

lyrics

… staring at the final wall where in Africa the old men petered out on their own account using their own immemorial Salvation Mind …

Mexico City Bop
I got the huck bop
I got the floogle mock
I got the thiri chiribim
bitchy bitchy bitchy
batch batch

Chipperly bop
Noise like that
Like fallin off porches
Of Tenement Petersberg
Russia Chicago O Yay.

Like, when you see,
the trumpet kind, horn
shiny in his hand, raise
it in smoke among heads
he bespeaks, elucidates,
explains and drops out,
end of chorus,
SLIPPITY BOP
