Gerry Mulligan and Chet Baker seemed so sophisticated and bad. I wanted to be like that.

Only Way
The only way that Nichols
could have any control
over his wife or put a smile
on her face was to put on
a Gerry Mulligan record and
turn it up loud so that the
cool baritone saxophone of
Mulligan could work its wonders
and she would say Why he’s
so sexy and that sax of his it
drives me crazy and Nichols
knew he was second best to
that Mulligan guy and once
when he took her to a jazz
concert where he had a job
to keep her in her seat and
she swooned and gazed and
nigh wet herself and when he
got her home that night it was
one of the hottest nights of sex
he ever had which for a second
best guy wasn’t at all bad.

Sophisticated Lady (She's A Different Lady)
Written by Chuck Jackson, Marvin Yancy and Natalie Cole
Sophisticated lady, sophisticated lady
She's a different lady with a different style
She stands tall and steady like the Eiffel Tower
She is hip to politics but loves her jazz
She's got lots of rhythm she's got lots of class
Everybody knows how she got her name, yeah
Oh, ha, she wears knee length dresses with her high heel steppers
She's not no back stabber but she's sure a pleaser
She talks quiet and gentle, she acts very cool
She sticks close to her lover, she obey God's rules, woh
(Sophisticated lady) Sophisticated lady, yeah
(Sophisticated lady) Oh
(Sophisticated lady) That's her name, that's her name
(Sophisticated lady) Woh, woh
Everybody knows how she got her name
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah----
Woh--, oh, oh, oh, oh
She's the kind of person that you'd like to meet
'Cause she's always smiling and she's always neat
She can start a fire in the coldest man
She's a hip slick sister known throughout the land, oh
(Sophisticated lady) That's her name
Sophisticated lady (sophisticated lady) yeah
Oh, well, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, hoo, that's her name
Sophisticated lady (sophisticated lady) lady, lady
Sophisticated lady (sophisticated lady) oh
Sophisticated lady, (sophisticated lady) ah
Sophisticated lady (sophisticated lady)
Ooh, ooh (sophisticated lady)
Repeat (Sophisticated lady
