[...]
- Folks uptown says it's nothin' but 'gutter' music!
- Ducked his head inside every tavern where he heard a musician blowing blues through my valves,
- And he came to Diamond Stone's Cafe and eased in before the bouncer could see him...
- And when Bunk Johnson had blown himself out and was wrapping my brass mouth in velvet...
- The kid came up, and the drummer saw him.
- It's that coal-sellin' kid again, Bunk. Shall I call the bouncer?
- He's looking at your trumpet like it's a girl he loves.
- Get him outta here before Diamond thinks you invited him.
