Lyrics[]
Stop your crying now, little boy
'Cause I know a place that you will enjoy
It's a place that's full of diamonds and toys
And Chet Baker's playing trumpet there
So, go there now with joy
Go then, don't feel low
'Cause Chet Baker's playing trumpet alone for you
Don't you worry, that girl is gone
Don't you worry for the things that she's done
Just relax, you still got time to go on
'Cause this place is open-minded to you
So, go there now with joy
Go then, don't feel low
'Cause Chet Baker's playing trumpet for you alone
