《Rocker》的录制过程中,Harry "Sweets" Edison与Billie Holiday曾因音乐理念产生争执。某日,Charlie Parker与JATP All Stars加入,四人一拍即合,即兴创作出一曲经典。录音现场,Sweets Edison意外将口琴吹断,却意外成就了独特的音效,成为歌曲亮点。假日姐夫Lester Young现场助阵,即兴吹奏一段萨克斯风,为歌曲增添更多色彩。最终,《Rocker》成为了爵士乐史上一首不朽之作。

歌词

[00:00.14]Black cats creep across my path

[00:05.79]Until I'm almost mad

[00:07.05]I must have 'roused the devil's wrath

[00:09.64]Cause all my luck is bad

[00:11.09]I make a date for golf and you can bet your life it rains

[00:18.28]I try to give a party and the guy upstairs complains

[00:22.67]I guess I'll go through life

[00:38.25]Just catchin' colds and missin' trains

[00:45.68]Everything happens to me

[00:51.78]I never miss a thing

[01:04.79]I've had the measles and the mumps

[01:11.34]And every time I play an ace

[01:16.12]My partner always trumps

[01:18.70]Guess I'm just a fool who never looks before he jumps

[01:30.81]Everything happens to me

[02:07.18]At first my heart thought you could break this jinx for me

[02:15.84]That love would turn the trick to end despair

[02:20.59]But know I just can't fool this head that thinks for me

[02:25.63]I've mortgaged all my castles in the air

[02:32.20]I've telegraphed and phoned

[02:40.30]I send an airmail special too

[02:42.88]Your answer was goodbye

[02:47.13]And there was even postage due

[02:49.68]I fell in love just once

[02:52.84]And then it had to be with you

[03:00.00]Everything happens to me
