Calls for a score hey where's nu-be when ya want him? I did another too:"Tomato soup Blues" In the cupboard just some tomato soup; Just one little can of tomato soup; Doesn't mean much I'm lookin' for some real food. Can't do no shoppin' just cant go today; Cant do no shoppin' must stay home today; Tommorrow is the day when I get paid. Here lies my sorrow and it's not a joke; My sorrow lies here and it's not a joke; Tomato soup that's it because I'm broke. At the first of the month I pay all the bills; The first of the month is when I pay the bills Tomato soup's just not enough to fill. Even though it's not what my stomach planned; Tomato soup is aaaaaalll I have on hand. I kind of envision a bass and alto sax doing the bop and weave to tomato soup with a piano doing the foreground melody at the end of each line you get u/ /u repeated three times by the saxes before the coda the piano could ramble a bit and come back in a jazz improv.
