[00:01.12]Downstairs they re playing kenton
[00:06.97]The house set to swing
[00:12.46]I lay in my bed
[00:14.93]And listen to everything
[00:23.03]Cause Leo s in rare form tonight
[00:28.56]His trombone sing s so sweet
[00:34.79]This is the room
[00:37.16]Where they all come to meet
[00:43.31]He said
[00:45.68]I do what I can
[00:51.16]I live for the moment
[00:54.03]And that s who I am
[00:59.88]Yeah that s who I am
[01:08.24]And isn t it good
[01:13.73]If we could freeze moments in time
[01:17.57]We all would
[01:22.26]But I do what I can
[01:27.90]I do what I can
[01:36.71]Downstairs he s playing kenton
[01:42.38]The magnavox sighs
[01:47.25]But oh how the music has changed
[01:51.33]In all of our lives
[01:58.61]He says nobody listens
[02:04.64]To modern jazz
[02:09.72]And I ll never have what those guys have
[02:18.82]He says
[02:20.95]I do what I can
[02:26.65]I work for a living
[02:29.46]And that s who I am
[02:35.25]Yeah that s who I am
[02:43.48]And it s good to be alive
[02:49.62]But everythings different since Leo died
[02:57.63]I do what I can
[03:11.90]Is this the end of the modern world
[03:15.69]What could it mean for a young girl
[03:20.11]Who sees the pain on his face
[03:24.96]He does what he can
[03:30.71]The procession on the TV screen
[03:35.70]What could it possibly mean for a man
[03:40.16]Who s come this far just to turn around
[03:48.79]Could there still be life in kentons swing
[03:53.58]With the Kennedys  gone and everything
[03:58.32]Those sad rows of houses with their optimistic colors
[04:03.29]Democrat grandparents and draft-dodging brothers
[04:08.12]Riots down the street and discontented mothers
[04:14.27]We do what we can
[04:28.74]Downstairs it s quiet
[04:33.91]Less alive somehow
[04:38.67]Somehow he was everything that I am now
[04:48.14]And he says
[04:50.62]I do what I can
[04:56.04]I work for a living
[04:58.48]And that s who I am
[05:04.53]And that s who I am
[05:12.81]But it s good to be alive
[05:18.75]And these are the choices
[05:21.28]We make to survive
[05:27.22]You do what you can
[05:32.15]
