Freddie Freeloader Jon Hendricks (Ft. Al Jarreau, Bobby McFerrin & George Benson)

[Theme: J. Hendricks, G. Benson, A. Jarreau, B. McFerrin ]

Freddie, (You got to get to Freddie)
Freddie. (Your need to drink is steady)
Freddie, (You will be seen as you do it)
Freddie. (Trouble keeps pourin' through him)
Free blues (Gobs), free booze (bottles)
Free dues. (He'd love to get you drunk)

Freddie, (You don't know Fred, you should meet him)
Freddie. (Sure ain't none to beat him)
Freddie, (Straight flyin' he's steady)
Freddie. (Freddie has got substance)
Free booze (yeah), free blues (booze)
That's Frеddie

[Solo 1: Bobby McFerrin as Wynton Kelly]
He isn't good looking
Yet handsomе
You want some credit?
He can spare some
'cause serving drinks is what he does
Groovier than most men
He's readyin' them up in case they're come in
'cause Freddie really loves that thing called be-bop
Let the cats drink every drop
While he digs on it nonstop
So cats have no doubt that he's fine
Your throat's dry:
Knowing that that's the place
That Freddie gets down and gets ya high
Without ever worryin' 'bout payment
Paying every round
For the cat that's playing around this place
So you never even had to ever think about it
Just have him hold on to some drink and
Your tab's all paid
Let the good times roll
And pour me another drink as a toast to ol' Freddie
