So What Lyrics
Miles Davis walked off the stage,
That's what the folks are all sayin'
Oh yes he did leave the stage,
After his solo was over
Coltrane he walked off the stage
That's what the folks are all sayin'
Oh yes they both left the stage
Clean out of sight, now
They felt they had to rehearse
Although we know they are masters
They get a real Groovy sound,
And you will have to admit it.
Oh yes they both left the stage
Soon as their solo's were over.
And if you can't figure out,
Their groove I'd like to help you
Well, my friends
How about Miles Davis
I never know why some people always
Try to find some fault
Of this man and his horn
And when they go
To wherever he is playin'
They seem to go to see whether he
Is going to get to business
(scat section)
Sa bap m boo ba doo-dle doo ba doo dn shyi
Dooi dn dzoo grap
Fiddle-dee bap m ba buh dzeh ah
He never walks around the place and speaks to
All of the folks he don't know, I wouldn't either,
And neither would you, friends
But I, I know he is friendly
I do, the rest of we do
Oh yeah
We dig he beautiful soul and we love
Him and his blue horn
And here's another thing about the clothes he wear
I am sure his style is in the future
He is cool, the fit of his clothes are perfect
Just like the way he plays
He is not afraid of being different
And he has won most bold of this modern jazz
He and Gillespie are kings
Miles and his group are breaking records, yeah
Because they sure do swing
Miles Davis walked off the stage

Coltrane he walked off the stage
That's what the people are sayin'
Oh yes they both left the stage
Clean out of sight, now
They said they had to rehearse
Although we know they are masters
They get a real mellow sound
And you will have to admit it
Oh yes they both left the stage

Well I have helped you
Oh yes they both left the stage
So what!

Someone wrote lyrics and sang them. Eddie Jefferson? They mentioned people criticizing Miles and Trane for leaving the stage when their solos were over. So, comes the response, "So what?" Exactly my reaction when I saw Miles turn his back to the audience. If not seeing what they expect bothers the critics so much, maybe they should close their eyes, turn off their minds and just listen.
