Funeral (rap)


"... led and enormous band."

Swede: "Oh, but I know he's very lucky

too, because when Mingus dies

there's going to be the same

funeral they had for Duke

Ellington ... in a big church and

the whole country's going to

say - WOW - he was so far out

you know what I mean?"

Charles:"No man - no big church!"

Swede:"Ha-ha-heh-heh-heh"

Charles:"I'm going to buried man

I got my shit all figured out!"

Swede:"You're going to get a big funeral

you're famous!"

Charles: "Vedanta Society - India

I'm going to be buried in India!"

Swede:"I know, but you're going to get a

big funeral in this country - and

they'll play your music for two

days - heh ha ha ha ha ha!"

Charles:"Who's going to do that?"

Swede:"It's far out isn't it, you

know what I mean?"

Charles:"You want me to hurry up man!"

Swede:"No, I don't want you to hurry up,

but in the future I know you're going

to get a beautiful funeral

I can see it!"

Charles:"But I got it planned man!"

Swede:"You're going to be here many

more years."

Charles:"You know the Vedanta Society

in India - Yuga?"

Swede: "Yeh!"

Charles: "Well, I'm going to be buried by

that church!"

Swede: "Yeh!"

Charles: "So they got to find another place

to do it, that's all."

Swede: "Plenty of time to go - You have

another 50 years - you're lucky!"

Charles: "Uh, Duke lived to be seventy-seven

years old right?"

Swede: "Right!"

Charles: "I'm going to cut him!"

Swede: "Coltrane was very strong...

you know..."

Charles: "I'm going to cut Duke!"
