Dr. Honoris Causa

[Intro]
Now I don't give a damn whether you can count or not
We still are the Cannonball Adderley Quintet
That's what we choose to be
And it's a permanent situation
And it's always gonna be like that, right?
We're going to do a tune composed by
A man who used to play piano with us, whose name is Joe Zawinul
And it's dedicated to another guy who plays piano
Whose name is Herbert Hancock
Uh, you know, people get familiar sometime
And reduce a man's name in some, some sort of diminutive, you know
And it comеs up Herbie
Anyhow, this piecе of music
Is dedicated to Herbie Hancock
In honor of his alma mater
Having awarded him an honorary doctorate degree
Which is some other kind of establishment virtue when you dig it
You know?
But, Herbie accepted it
So under the circumstances who, who are we to question it?
Yeah, his thing, you know
What was it, this thing out there in Iowa?
Grinnell College
Come on, it was Grinnell College says that Herbie Hancock was worthy of
Of an award from them by their standards
So under the circumstances, it must be cool
So this one's called "Dr. Honoris Causa"
Dig it

[Instrumental]

[Outro]
Wow
"Dr. Honoris Causa"
