Trombone

Slip and slide, that's how he plays it;
wrist and ride, he really slays it.
Ride and guide that shiny brass trombone.

Lazy notes, like sunset clouds 
drifting high above the crowd, 
a shroud of blues
fills the room 

with sweet sadness,

and they like it that way. 

Play on, shiny brass trombone.

I hear it playing, feel it down my spine. Play it George.
