Taken out of class on every Friday afternoon

The teacher Melvin Minthorne

Said I want you to use your imagination to see this painting

I saw a glamorous woman with her hair done up in cascading curls whirling in a spin

Propelled by an unseen partner

The blur of the Broadway lights catching the glint in her eye

Broadway Boogie Woogie

What does it mean to you

Broadway Boogie Woogie

Melvin Minthorne this one's for you

Broadway Boogie Woogie

What does it mean to you

Broadway Boogie Woogie

Melvin Minthorne this one's for you

Near the end of June

And patiently school bells waited to ring

All he gave us was a title

Not even that it was a Mondrian masterpiece at MOMA

I saw a glamorous woman with her hair done up in cascading curls

Whirling in a spin

Propelled by an unseen partner

The blur of the Broadway lights catching the glint in her eye

Broadway Boogie Woogie

What does it mean to you

Broadway Boogie Woogie

Melvin Minthorne this one's for you

Broadway Boogie Woogie

What does it mean to you

Broadway Boogie Woogie

Melvin Minthorne this one's for you

Broadway Boogie Woogie

What does it mean to you

Broadway Boogie Woogie

Melvin Minthorne this one's for you

Broadway Boogie Woogie

What does it mean to you

Broadway Boogie Woogie

Melvin Minthorne this one's for you
