Hackensack (A Thelonious Monk Lyric)

I got to be hung on a rack The day is not done till I buy a six-pack I drink it down boldly My aunt she just told me We're stuck in Hackensack I took the blame and the rap To keep my friend from losin' his cap I will hang with the Latin I'm banned from Manhattan I'm still wearin' silk and satin Try to pull the real bluff Tongue in my cheek and so tough Keep myself uncanny Someday I'm comin' back from outta Hackensack You gave me a smile and a wink I'm puttin' it down with my feathers and ink I don't have to worry I'm not in a hurry I'll get up and move my fanny.
