letra de freddie freeloader - jon hendricks

[theme: j. hendricks, g. benson, a jarreau, b. mcferrin ]

freddie, (you got to get to freddie)
freddie. (your need to drink is steady)
freddie, (you will be seen as you do it)
freddie. [?]
free blues [?], free booze (bottles)
free dues.(he’d love to get you drunk)

freddie, (and you all know fred ’cause you need him)
freddie. (you sure would love to meet him)
freddie, (straight flyin’ he’s steady)
freddie. (freddie has got substance)
free booze (yeah), free blues (booze)
that’s freddiе

[solo 1: bobby mcferrin as wynton kelly]
he isn’t good looking
yet handsome
you want somе credit?
he can spare some
’cause serving drinks is what he does
groovier than most men
he’s readyin’ them up in case they’re come in
’cause freddie really loves that thing called be-bop
let the cats drink every drop
while he digs on it nonstop
so cats have no doubt that he’s fine
your throat’s dry:
knowing that that’s the place
that freddie gets down and gets ya high
without ever worryin’ ’bout payment
paying every round
for the cat that’s playing around this place
so you never even had to ever think about it
just have him hold on to some drinks and
your tab’s all paid
let the good times roll
and pour me another drink as a toast to ol’ freddie
the cat that’s hip and where it was
and where it’s at
he used to be such a solid old fella of the church
he used to be some good thug
he had his religion
but now as the devil’s all in
he does disperse in spirits [?]
and meanwhile
[?] [every sunday??] there’s only the tiniest smidgen
so drink up all this style
have a breakdown when he’s around
and now my cat there knows that
he’ll fix somethin’ straight for you
[?] [soon as there you’re sitting before my bar??]
it’s such a brew
you need another one to help you bring you to
i heard him say that
speakin’ of fred he’s got the
ugly kind of face
that only a mom could love
and i know
freddie don’t play that
[solo 2: al jarreau as miles davis]
there’s this cat
his name is freddie
this cat’s a bartender
well known by anyone hip
and he can mix the kind of drinks
that you won’t forget
one sip and you’ll flip
and for chasers
freddie got some stuff for hip lips
groovy stuff for your cup
let the flow go
get down and drink it up
i swear he made it up himself
and it’ll hypnotize an elf
them drinks that freddie mix
ain’t no ail that they won’t fix
for each emotion
freddie got a potion
he’s known to have you toxified
before you know you’re even dry
just mention his name
all the cats know freddie
he serves one
so freddie deserves one
cause tendin’ bar the way that freddie does
he claims it unnerves one
so all day
he juices all day, freddie
but all that bread
don’t reach the till
though i ain’t sayin’ freddie’s stealin’
if you know him at all
then it’s a cinch that you know he will
ever-ready freddie
with a paw so steady:
i seen him sink one drink
before the next half was ready
he’s got a style that’s all i know
freddie’s on time [?] [treating too much??]
it’s all his own
[solo 3: jon hendricks as john coltrane]

speakin’ of freddie:
who the h-ll is he?
what is freddie to me?
[?]
about that kind of a bar he’s tendin’
so he tends a groovy bar
so [?] all forgetting
to me [?]
i’ve had a little deal with freddie
[?] really heavy
you know that a [?] can make a fella’s mind unsteady
it’s in a book – you can read it if you ever
sober up enough to wanna take a look

you – you settled in the alcoholic kitchen
[?]
suckin’ up the juice
[?]
stupid drumming
what’re you doin’ there? remember that?
now you know. so take it slow
you finally want to have a long [?]
so i say: you gotta play another way
you either had a little [?] to your attitude
and exercise your mind
[?] illusion
who’s up and who’s down?
it’s all for [?] – i tell you
why [?] thousands miles [?]
when you think of that it’s kinda peculiar
even so you rock’n’roll
[?]
to talk it slow
[?]
revelation [?]
treatin’ your immortal soul
i was blessed
you’re free, you’re free [?]
to do your heart, and your mind and your soul
as they go
and the soul is the one you hate
[?]
i will give you the sky
and keep you high forever
and lots of people tend to think:
all they have to do is light a joint and take a drink
for them to reach the same before a drink – forget it
it never would be so
’cause alcohol and [?] narcotics should never do the trick
you gotta do it like he said
[?] shootin’ and gettin’ sick
i never listen to your [?]
[?] the spirit
[?] i know [?] it should be clear
[?] never do

[solo 4: george benson as cannonball adderley]

i heard what you said
and it stays in my head
well, let me tell of my impression
everything you said is straight ahead
absolutely indeed
it sure needs thinking about
i’m just trying to figure it out
i never would believe it if i hadn’t really heard it
pretty much of what i heard is [?] to me
really need to see [?]
somebody is gonna have to make you clear to me
havin’ a teentsy-weentsy itsy-bitsy [?] to freddie
[?] have to make a fella’s life unsteady
so, pour me a drink and let me think
raise your glass and make a plink
bottom’s up – now i’m ready for the game
[?]
i’m never gonna win it
let’s have party
drinkin’ hard ey
gonna drink up ’til we drop
let [?]
wait, your burpin’ got me thinkin’
and maybe [?]
relax and let’s drink steady
it’s on freeload-freddie!
drink a [?] freddie!

i’m talkin’ ’bout freddie
’cause freddie is steady
talkin’ ’bout [?]
wanna get drunk for free?
that’s easy:
freddie will pop a little [?]
never even miss it – drink up –
it’s freddie’s dream

buy one – he’ll give you one
acquaintances never leave freddie’s dry
you never really ever gonna find that you were high
tellin’ the truth, yeah
i’m sittin’ right here one evenin’ just coolin’
i’m tellin’ you man: i’ma go and ’bout to beg me a drink
that’s no joke
that’s when old freddie spoke
he said: don’t worry ’bout the [?]
you got to [?]
[?] fella below

because of that they call me
freddie freeloader

[ad lib]

somethin’ [?]

[theme: j. hendricks, g. benson, a jarreau, b. mcferrin]

freddie, (got to get to freddie)
freddie. (your need to drink is steady)
freddie, (you will soon get to know him)
freddie. [?]
free blues [?], free booze (bottles)
free dues. (he’d love to get you drunk)

freddie, (you should be already)
freddie. [?]
freddie, [?]
freddie. (freddie has got style and [?])
free booze (he’s freddie), free blues (he’s ready)

[ad lib]
