Mr. Duke Ellington
Duke Ellington, the man who was fine as pie
with impressive good looks
His music so vibrant and loud, painted colors like rainbow high in the sky
You could say his music had the hook.
From the pearly piano keys to the brass sax, his swingin' good music
was there to make you dance.
Duke took his music all over,
if you want to see the man with the voice, there was a pretty good chance.
He went on to keep making music for all to hear and enjoy.
People bough thousands of records just to continue to hear the music that lifted the soul.
The music of The Duke still plays, today, on a sweet roll.
