LYRICS
till br önner -Have You Met Chet?
Straight to the top
How could you ever lose
Guess you must have had it all
To be a star on the jazz scene
Try to keep it clean
They came to see you
Managers came too
Play
Ballads that will live forever
Taking what you get
It wasn't what it should have been
So you call on blue
And the memories seem to be so far away
Or so they say
Down on your luck
You picked it up again to rise up above them all
In Europe there was an uproar
Knocked you down once more
Look
Up the door
Never give in and play
With all the life that is around you
That's what I hear you say
You know that I'm with you chet
That's right I am with you here today
Have you met chet
And had the time to spare
To kick back a notch or two
It's like a ride in a big car
Chet you went so far they're following you
The style with which you blew
Time
Has a way of drifting by us
Feeling what you gave
It melts away the blues in me
So those days are gone
But the melodies that you played will carry on
An endless song
Sad in a way
You know the way it goes
The music keeps moving on
As if each set was the last one
Place your horn once more
One
Two three four
Never give in and play
With all the life that is around you
That's what I hear you say
You know that I'm with you chet
That's right I am with you here today
Today
Right I'm here with you today
