The Blues for Langston Hughes

You wrote so hot,
You’re burning up my mind.
You wrote so hot,
You’re burning up my mind.
Langston, Poet Daddy,
Yours are the hottest I could find.

You wrote so cool,
You really take my breath away.
I say you wrote so cool,
You always take my breath away.
Langston, Poet Daddy,
I don’ know what else to say.

You wrote so smooth,
You leave me boneless in your wake.
Man, you wrote so smooth,
You leave me boneless in your wake.
Langston, Poet Daddy,
Don’ know how much more this I can take.

You wrote so true,
You really told it how it was.
Yes, you wrote so true,
You really told it, like it was.
And Langston, Poet Daddy,
You wrote more truth than an’one, today does.

You wrote your soul,
Put it all there on those pages.
God, you wrote your soul,
Put it all down on those pages.
Langston, Poet Daddy,
You are the Poet of the Ages.
