I Don't Get Involved In Politics. I Just Blow My Horn.

A Lot Of The Musicians Asked Me If When I Hit My High-cs On The Records I Had A Clarinet Take The Notes. Some [thought] I Had Invented Some Kind Of Gadget So I Could Play High Register. They Weren't Satisfied Until They Handed Me A Trumpet That They Had With Them And Had Me Swing It. Then They Cheered.

We Don't Play Slow And We Don't Play Fast, We Play Half Fast

We All Do 'do, Re, Mi,' But You Have Got To Find The Other Notes Yourself.

Don't Do Nothing Halfway, Else You Find Yourself Dropping More Than Can Be Picked Up.
