When Charlie speaks of Lester
You know someone great has gone
The sweetest swinging music man
Had a Porkie Pig hat on
A bright star
In the dark age
When the bandstands had a thousand ways
Of refusing a black man admission
Black musician
In those days they put him in an underdog position
Cellars and chitlins'
When Charlie speaks of Lester
You know someone great has gone
The sweetest swinging music man
Had a Porkie Pig hat on
A bright star
In the dark age
When the bandstands had a thousand ways
Of refusing a black man admission
Black musician
In those days they put him in an underdog position
Cellars and chitlins'
Cellars and chitlins'
Cellars and chitlins'
Cellars and chitlins'
Cellars and chitlins'
Cellars and chitlins'
Cellars and chitlins'
Cellars and chitlins'
Cellars and chitlins'
