Subject: RE: Lyr Req: vocalese: Cloudburst (Jon Hendricks)
The Pointer Sisters continue trading these lines back and forth.
In the instrumental of origin,
it's a dialogue between
TRUMPET (and other brass)
and
TENOR SAX.
CLOUDBURST, continued:
Jon Hendricks, words
TRUMPET
When it's cloudy and gray
and that's the worst,
how do you get
that cloud to burst?
TENOR SAX
You gotta find a lover
find a lover
find a lover
find a lover!
TRUMPET
When it's silvery
under clouds of gray,
how you gonna chase
the gray away?
TENOR SAX
You gotta find a little girl and
make her love you a lot --
don't ever leave 'em sittin',
or you're really gonna ruin the plot!
TRUMPET
Sounds easy, does it?
TENOR SAX
/Bonnie Pointer :
Light as a breeze
through the trees, boy!
TRUMPET
How pleasant was it?
TENOR SAX
/Bonnie Pointer :
Pleasant as one summer breeze, boy!
TRUMPET
It's wonderful what a love can do --
Look at what love has done for you!
TENOR SAX
/ sisters duet :
Well, I'm a lucky lover, a lucky lover,
I've got the love you should discover!
(under COPYRIGHT, and probably ASCAP)
to be concluded
with a reprise of the CHORUS,
and one last flourish before the end.
