Little Boy Blues

© 2003 Harvey H. Warwick III

Little boy blue, come blow your horn
At the audition this Saturday morn.
Can you play salsa and ragtime and blues?
There’s a new jazz combo that could sure use
Another horn player who can perform
Six nights a week, and can play up a storm.
Marches and fanfares and polkas sound swell
Zydeco and mariachi as well.
Swing, bossa nova, and bebop are cool,
So if you want to try out, we hope you’ll
Come down to see us on Saturday, then.
The first audition begins right at ten.
Don’t waste your time on the cows and the sheep
They’ll be looked after by little Bo Peep.
Maybe when you achieve stardom some day
You can invite her to come hear you play.
After becoming successful, then you
Just might discover you don’t feel so blue.
