This room is 6-sided has no view,
there are no voices to disturb you,
little orphan I've seen you, Calumet Avenue
This room has no particular way
It eats up the time of an idle boy
and lets the obvious roll away
This spoon has no partner it's hardwood,
made in the Abbey, and it's still good--
little somethin' I'd trade for Mulligatawny
This room has all my records to play;
Louis and Dexter and Lady Day
sometimes a body can lose its way
This horn is from Harlem it's
uptown, sweet as a lullaby in
my room, it's no wonder I
stay here, here in this hollow
This horn has no particular way,
Hocking itself on those rainy days
it lets the obvious roll away
lets the obvious roll away
lets the obvious roll away
there are no voices to disturb you,
little orphan I've seen you, Calumet Avenue
It eats up the time of an idle boy
and lets the obvious roll away
made in the Abbey, and it's still good--
little somethin' I'd trade for Mulligatawny
Louis and Dexter and Lady Day
sometimes a body can lose its way
uptown, sweet as a lullaby in
my room, it's no wonder I
stay here, here in this hollow
Hocking itself on those rainy days
it lets the obvious roll away
lets the obvious roll away
lets the obvious roll away
