The Night That Monk Returned To Heaven - Manhattan Transfer

The night that Monk returned to heaven

Climbed every step and stood on seven

He hummed «Epistrophy»

The light of angels shone above him

They mentioned God would surely love him…

To play «My dear, Ruby»

So Monk

Pure Monk

Sat down and played a chorus

And God said, «Monk… the door is open to my house
