The Man From Hyde Park lyrics

There's a man that I know with a TV show

He can show you the chords that you need to know

He's amazing by far with his harmonies and melodies

He's always been that way

How can he produce chords of such great use?

I first met him a long time ago, Southside

He was standing in front of a club outside

Then I told him to go in and play

With the guys up on the stand

And his playing was grand.

Shortly after that day, I heard D.B. say

I need someone to help me out while Duke's away

He took lessons from Chris,

But he learned from them all

Then he packed up his bags

And split for the Big Apple in the fall

He arrived on the scene trying to find some work

Donald, Alfred, and Frank signed him up

To make a date, a bright young turk

He is constantly trying to improve

All of his skills and make his mark,

The man from Hyde Park.

Shortly after that day, I heard D.B. say

I need someone to help me out while Duke's away

He took lessons from Chris,

But he learned from them all

Then he packed up his bags

And split for the Big Apple in the fall

He arrived on the scene trying to find some work

Donald, Alfred, and Frank signed him up

To make a date, a bright young turk

He is constantly trying to improve

All of his skills and make his mark,

The man from Hyde Park.
