We Learned To Be Cool From You

Friend friend
 We are at it again
 Blastin' off to Timbuktu
 I said it before I'll say it again
 We learned to be cool from you
 Hey lady in the Mermaid Cafe
 Bathed in a spotlight of blue
 Singing those Sarah Vaughan songs until dawn
 We learned to be cool from you
 Maybe I can parlez a little Francais
 Maybe I can even write a whole page a day
 Do a crossword puzzle in a minute or two
 But I learned to be cool from you
 Hey Mr. Mustache look what we've done
 Lived longer than they thought we could do
 Through all of the games and all of our fame
 We learned to stay cool from you
 Hey there Leonard and Willie on the stage
 Still singing your songs pure and true
 Who would have thought that time could be bought
 We learned to stay cool from you
 Maybe I can parlez a little Francais
 Maybe I can even write a whole page a day
 Do a crossword puzzle in a minute or two
 But I learned to be cool from you
 You said it's more about music
 And less about fame
 You taught us it's okay
 To play without shame
 It's more about life
 And the right thing to do
 Hang on to the hullabaloo
 Hey Captain Walter steering for the stars
 Always knowing that your vision was true
 It was your sign off note that kept us afloat
 We learned to be cool from you
 Maybe I can parlez a little Francais
 Maybe I can still write a whole page a day
 Do a crossword puzzle in a second or two
 But I learned to be cool from you
 I learned to be cool from you
