Blue Monk
Abbey Lincoln
Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Goin' alone, life is your own, But sometimes the cost is dear. Being complete, knowing defeat, Keeping on from year to year. It takes some doing. Monkery's the blues you hear, Keeping on from year to year. Life is a school, 'less you're a fool, But the learning brings you pain. Knowing at once you're just a dunce, Trial and error, loss and gain. It takes some doing - Monkery's a slow, slow train, Trial and error, loss and gain. Finding your one place in the sun Doesn't come the easy way Shallow and deep, nothing is cheap Measured by the dues you pay It takes some doin', Monkery's a blue highway Measured by the dues you pay
