6-Sided Lyrics

This room is six-sided has
no view, there are no voices to
disturb you, little orphan I've
seen you, Calumet Avenue
This room has no particular way
It eats up the time of an idle boy
and lets the obvious roll away

This spoon has no partner it's
hardwood, made in the Abby and it's
still good--little somethin' I'd
trade for Mullagatawny
This room has all my records to play;
Louis and Dexter and Lady Day
sometimes a body can lose it's way

This horn is from Harlem it's
uptown, sweet as a lullabye in
my room, it's no wonder I
stay here, here in this hollow
This horn has no particular way
Hocking itself on those rainy days
it lets the obvious roll away.
