Lyrics

Schenectady calling Schenectady calling

 

Take these notes into the night

And run then by the Northern Lights

Transport these golden bars

Let this music touch the stars

 

And snuggle down into the noost

Whaur Peerie Wille makes his hoose

And let his music run through his fingers

Let it touch his very soul

 

Schenactady calling Schenactady calling

 

And let the cymbals tingle in a distant ear

And the signal twinkle by the Bressay Pier

In that long dark night let Eddie Lang be near

This sophisticated man

 

And so to Willie Harlem speaks

His fingers painting what his soul recieves

Blessed Django comes to call

Smashing down those foolish walls

 

The signal flies into the night

And flashes by the Lerwick lights

A nice explosion runs through his fingers

And ignites his very soul

 

Schenectady calling Schenectady Calling

 

We love you madly

Schenetady calling
