Lyrics
Session Man
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
He never will forget at all
The day he played at the Albert Hall.
A million sessions ago it seems.
He is a session man,
A chord progression,
A top musician.
Rock 'n' roll or vocal star [could be "folk group star" or "Vaudeville star"],
A philharmonic orchestra,
Everything comes the same to him.
He is a session man,
A chord progression,
A top musician.
He's not paid to think, just play,
A session man
A session man
A session man
Playing at a different studio every day.
He reads the dots and plays each line,
And always finishes on time.
No overtime nor favors done.
He is a session man,
A chord progression,
A top musician.
He's not paid to think, just play,
A session man
A session man
A session man
