Hurt So Good

Etta was predicting

Stormy Weather

As Ray freed his

Seven Spanish Angels

Roy asked are you still

Running Scared

But Ella was smiling and

Watching Over Me

Peggy gave me that look asking

Is That All There Is

But Kris stepped in to

Help Me Make It Through The Night

Willy reminding us all

How Time Slips Away

As Hank made his entrance

That Lonesome Whistle Blowing

Bobby was still bleeding from

Mack The Knife

As Frank flew in on

 A Summer Wind

Aretha was breaking

That Chain Of Fools

While BB cried out 

The Thrill Is Gone

Smoky was drowning in

The Tears Of A Clown

And Sam kept promising

A Change Is Gonna Come

As the Fat Man looked down

from Blueberry Hill

Elvis chased the

Hound Dog out the back door

But Brenda had our

Emotions running high

When Satchmo assured us  

—It’s A Wonderful World
