Jackie Lyrics

I sat
One night
Right in the middle of my glass of Coca Cola
I thought how
I'd now
Get too
Some biscuits and a slice of Gorgonzola
I then felt
A twitch
Which seemed
To come from something under my ear
I wondered
If I
Was high
Or if it was a mere hallucination
I turned round
And found
Something I thought was merely my imagination

On my blouse
A mouse
Sat there
And this is what I started to hear
If you want to hear the story
Of a mouse in all his glory
Then I'll you all about
The time I was gigging with a band
And all the cats thought I was really the end
They always would stand around
And hear the sound
That was coming from a crazy little creature
Who was standing on the bandstand
That was me
I sure dug Pres
I thought that he was real cool
And when Mr. President was swingin'
I would feel so high
I thought that I'd fly
Out the window
Crazy
He really was and when he'd open up
With Mr. Lester Leaps
Well I'd leap right with him
I dug Diz, I dug Bird, I dug Miles and Wardell
Can you just imagine what kind of a band it was?
We'd feel right
Just swingin' all night
Everyone would gather around
They would even give a sigh
When I would step up on the stand
And take my little horn out
My name is Jackie in case you were wondering
I was quite popular in the idiom
Things were coming
I was free now
As the mouse with the sound
That was cute
But the boot
Was the loot
Which was really nothin' but the lowest
We thought that things were cool like that
And then they fell flat
When the agent came and told us
We would have to change our style
They wouldn't pay a mouse scale
No where
I decided that I couldn't take the sacrifice
I'd have to make
So I just climbed into my hole
And dug the scene from there
I sat
One night
Right in the middle of my glass of Coca Cola
I thought how
I'd now
Get too
Some biscuits and a slice of Gorgonzola
I then felt
A twitch
Which seemed
To come from something under my ear
I wondered
If I
Was high
Or if it was a mere hallucination
I turned round
And found
Something I thought was merely my imagination
On my blouse
A mouse
Sat there
What????
