(when I Kiss You) I Hear Charlie Parker Playing lyrics
Out of the doorway, into the morning Wish I was a bird
that was migratory Spoken half in jest, catch the bird
that's in my nest Out of the doorway, into the morning
All of them seem to be selling something Illegal
substances, or an hour with no kisses Though I am
tempted, they are pre-empted You and your rosary are
exempted From criminality, still there is a duality
You'll never know it, I'll never show it Only I hear
it, only I know that What's apropos for me, may for
thee be blasphemy And the hills are alive with the
sound of music CHORUS: When I kiss you, when I kiss you
I hear Charlie Parker playing Will I miss you, will I
miss you When the playing ends one night When I kiss
you, when I kiss you I hear Charlie Parker playing Will
I miss you, will I miss you When I finally see the
light Where are they going, what are they doing Who are
they chasing, who are they suing It all ends up OK in
this Tennessee Williams play What are they facing, who
are they casing When you're attacked, tell me, who are
you macing For me it's all just fine, 'cause she's a
Frank Lloyd Wright design The finest of material A
little asymmetrical But that's the way it goes, my love
for her just grows and grows It's bigger than Fuji,
bigger than Fuji Sometimes she's a little screwy But
all that is offset when we dispense with etiquette And
the hills are alive with the sound of music CHORUS Out
of the doorway, into the morning Wish I was a bird that
was predatory Spoken half in jest, catch the bird
that's in my nest There's rebel advances, labor
disputes Somebody's shot and somebody shoots And hits
the bullseye -bam- captured on a portacam And the hills
are alive with the sound of music
