Sing A Study In Brown — текст песни (Manhattan Transfer)

Intro:
Picture this: Rhythm n` happiness
Souls in bliss `n havin` fun
(Oh no)
If you can`t there`s nothin` to it
(Oh no)
I`m thinkin` I have t` paint you one

Verse:
I`m gonna paint a sepia panorama
so full of life the painting will come alive
Bathed in blues `n full of drama
An` all the swing they needed so they`d survive
I`ll add some tans an` yellow ocher
Such soul! So full of rhythm
an` then some orange t` tone up the black a bit
My goal is to be with `em
Purple haze t` lull the smoker
What swing! What syncopation
an cherry red t` loosen the back a bit
That thing captured a nation

An` then a mere patina of subtle green
Get down with me - you`ll dig my study in brown
to lighten up the purple n` tone it down
Get down with me - tell about it all over town
A dancing glow to highlight the subtle scene
Get down with me - Dig how I`m paintin` the town
an` there you`ll have a study in brown
My study in brown

Well, git brown!
Oh yeah, brown is the pigment
Well, git down!
Oh yeah, that`s what cha` really meant
Clown!
Oh yeah, that`s some study

We`re puttin` down A Study In Brown

Coda: (That`s why we`re callin` it, A Study In Brown!)

Git brown!
Oh yeah, brown is the pigment
n` git down!
Oh yeah, that`s what cha` really meant
Clown!
Oh yeah, that`s some study

Dig what I mean! It`s in the scene

Guitar solo

What cha` talkin` `bout?
(Rhythm-A-Ning)
That`s my scene rhythm n`dancin`
(Rhythm-A-Ning)
you can add real romancin`
(Yep!)
I`ll come clean,
That`s the way I like it
Y` start real thin, then put some color in
(Rhythm-A-Ning)
Fuschia hues blended with subtones
(Rhythm-A-Ning)
Spread them blues, blarin` trombones
(Yep!)
Paint that scene
Just the way I like it
A dab or two - that`s how to do it.

Piano Solo
Y` talkin` loud, hope people hear y`

Guitar Solo
Hey dad! Mama`s gonn git `cha soon as you git home!

Piano Solo
Thats the ticket
But where`d y`fin` th` wicket?
Repeat from Verse to Coda
