Four (Loughborough)

'Four' is a 1954 jazz composition by Miles Davis.
It is sometimes credited to Eddie "Cleanhead" Vinson.

Lyrics were added later by Bill LOUGHBOROUGH:

There's not one boy for me, I must have two or three, I need four
First, the man who's the type to like slippers and pipe at the door.
Then, if at all possible I'd like the kind
Who's not very bossable, but knows his mind.

If you add to these few, one that knows how to woo dogpatch style
Then this man of my world will be spangled and pearled with his smile
And though it's incredible, I've found it's true
That my four-in-one boy is nobody else but you.


Recordings exist by Anita O'Day (1954), Victoria Phillips, etc.
