cannonball adderley - dr. honoris causa lyrics

[intro]
now i don’t give a d+mn whether you can count or not, we still are the cannonball adderley quintet. that’s what we choose to be, and it’s a permanent situation, and it’s always gonna be like that, right?

we’re going to do a tune composed by a man who used to play piano with us, whose name is joe zawinul. and it’s dedicated to another guy who plays piano, whose name is herbert hanc+ck. uh, you know, people get familiar sometime and reduce a man’s name in some sort of diminutive, you know, and it comes up hеrbie.

anyhow, this piece of music is dеdicated to herbie hanc+ck in honor of his alma mater having awarded him an honorary doctorate degree, which is some other kind of establishment virtue when you dig it, you know? but herbie accepted it, so under the circumstances who, who are we to question it? yeah, his thing, you know. what was it, this thing out there in iowa? grinnell college. come on, it was grinnell college says that herbie hanc+ck was worthy of, of an award from them by their standards. so under the circumstances it must be cool. so this one’s called “dr. honoris causa.” dig it.

[instrumental]

[outro]
wow. “dr. honoris causa.”
