I’m On My Way
Nat Adderley Jr.
[Intro]
We're going to play a tune by Nat Adderley
Not my brother Nat Adderley, his son, Nat Adderley the piano player
Which gives us a different attitude, right there
We're already trying to keep the money home in the family
Incidentally, little Nat Adderley is a fine musician, and he's eleven years old Though you won't believe it when you hear
He wrote this composition and thе arrangement for our band
[Instrumental]
[Outro]
I declarе
I do declare
That's by Nat Adderley, ladies and gentlemen
Can never tell, he's eleven now
By the time he gets to be as old as his father
Which is not too young, as a matter of fact
He might be writing Work Songs and Mercy Mercies
And all them kind of things
And he'll be rich independently
That's nice, isn't it?
