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 'beaucoup' 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. Moustache look what we've done
Lived longer than 'we' 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 'beaucoup' 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 'beaucoup' 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
