The King Lyrics


If I was listening
And knew I shouldn't be
Made all the threats again
The pain is deafeningThe jury couldn't win
And put the verdict in
Like many times before
They closed the coffin doorLeave it all if you had it before
Turn it out if you wanted it moreIf it was all wrong the first time
It's the last time
If I was born unbelieving
UnbelievingHe tried to be defined
And all the children whined
It killed the last of them
The King would fall againLeave it all if you had it before
Turn it out if you wanted it moreIf it was all wrong the first time
It's the last time
If I was born unbelieving
Unbelieving

William "Count" Basie (August 21, 1904– April 26, 1984) was a jazz pianist, organist, composer, and bandleader. As a pianist, he had a distinctive and influential style (the song title "Splanky" is an onomatopoetic reference to the sound of his playing), equally at home in the barrelhouse and the concert hall. Willie "The Lion" Smith, James P. Johnson, and Fats Waller were among his influences.
