Phil's lyrics to "Johnny Hodges" (from the liner notes): When I hear people play Alto sax the wrong way I am tempted to say, "Remember Johnny Hodges, The Rabbit, my first habit?" When they ask me when I heard The first music of Bird I must give them the word: "I worshipped Johnny Hodges, The first alto sax man." A flower is a lonesome thing It knows it won't hear Rabbit sing, Or swing, or cry Again. Goodbye.

Phil's lyrics to "Johnny Hodges" (from the liner notes):
When I hear people play
Alto sax the wrong way
I am tempted to say,
"Remember Johnny Hodges,
The Rabbit, my first habit?"
When they ask me when I heard
The first music of Bird
I must give them the word:
"I worshipped Johnny Hodges,
The first alto sax man."
A flower is a lonesome thing
It knows it won't hear Rabbit sing,
Or swing, or cry
Again. Goodbye.
