• The Lip

Down on the Mississippi River in a midnight dive
I met a trumpet playin' character and Man alive!
When he began to rip, he really played it from the hip
and when I asked about his name, they told me, "It's a ‘Lip’."

No one plays high notes like The Lip

He's got a tone that's reminiscent of a guy named Bix
He plays so high that only dogs can hear him, just for kicks
And when I asked if he can read
He said, "Ah, just a little bit, hon, but, however, hon, not enough to hurt my playing or my lip.”

No one plays high notes like The Lip
I’ve heard him play the lowest #F
and he can go quite low,
but he is much more in home in altissimo.
And when he plays the way up high,
where he can really shine,
he seems to really likes to make it with those (?lip trill )

No one plays high notes like The Lip
I heard the playing break one night,
when he was blowing lid.
He played so fine the other trumpets’ playing just would bleed.
He played so strong and he played high
and he blew all night long.
All of the other players fainted,
while the Lip played on.
No one plays high notes like The Lip

I never heard a trumpet player play a note so high
And I had to coax a lot before The Lip would tell me why
Then he took out a little jar that's labeled 'High-note Grease'
And he rubs a little every night on his mouthpiece

That’s the secret of The Lip

No one plays high notes like The Lip
Nobody plays high notes like The Lip, nobody, I looked all over, couldn’t find anyone, I looked everywhere.
