What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
When Charlie speaks of Lester
2
You know someone great has gone
3
The sweetest swinging music man
4
Had a Porkie Pig hat on
5
A bright star
6
In a dark age
7
When the bandstands had a thousand ways
8
Of refusing a black man admission
9
Black musician
10
In those days they put him in an
11
Underdog position
12
Cellars and chitlins'
13
When Lester took him a wife
14
Arm and arm went black and white
15
And some saw red
16
And drove them from their hotel bed
17
Love is never easy
18
It's short of the hope we have for happiness
19
Bright and sweet
20
Love is never easy street!
21
Now we are black and white
22
Embracing out in the lunatic New York night
23
It's very unlikely we'll be driven out of town
24
Or be hung in a tree
25
That's unlikely!
26
Tonight these crowds
27
Are happy and loud
28
Children are up dancing in the streets
29
In the sticky middle of the night
30
Summer serenade
31
Of taxi horns and fun arcades
32
Where right or wrong
33
Under neon
34
Every feeling goes on!
35
For you and me
36
The sidewalk is a history book
37
And a circus
38
Dangerous clowns
39
Balancing dreadful and wonderful perceptions
40
They have been handed
41
Day by day
42
Generations on down
43
We came up from the subway
44
On the music midnight makes
45
To Charlie's bass and Lester's saxophone
46
In taxi horns and brakes
47
Now Charlie's down in Mexico
48
With the healers
49
So the sidewalk leads us with music
50
To two little dancers
51
Dancing outside a black bar
52
There's a sign up on the awning
53
It says "Pork Pie Hat Bar"
54
And there's black babies dancing
55
Tonight
