The Last Request

(Album: A Touch Of Jazz - 2021)

Woke up with the blues today, I got the news I failed the test
Settle my affairs, so now I have to share my last request
Gonna meet my Maker, tell the undertaker do your best
Cause I want to go there in a light blue mohair suit and vest

I'll have to cancel every single engagement
I'll have to start to make my final arrangements
Now you know the score, so promise me before I'm laid to rest
Listen as I take a moment and I make a last request

I know it's tough but you must try not to worry
I'll soon be suffering the big coronary
Don't call an attorney when I make the journey to my rest
Didn't make a will, there's nothing in the till, so don't protest

While I'm fading fast, I've gotta get this last thing off my chest
So listen as I take a moment while I make my, make my last request
