Oh, But I know he's very lucky too
Because when Mingus dies there's gonna be the same funeral they had for Duke Ellington
In a big church and the whole country's going to say
Wow, he was so far out, you know what I mean?

No man, no big church! I'm going to be buried man
I got my shit all figured out

You're going to get a big funeral, you're famous

Vedanta Society, India, I'm going to be buried in India

I know, but you're going to get a big funeral in this country
And they'll play your music for two days

Who's going to do that?

It's far out isn't it, y'know what I mean?

You want me to hurry up, man

No I don't want you to hurry up, but in the future
I know you're going to get a beautiful funeral
I can see it

But I got it all planned, man

You're going to be here many more years

You know the Vedanta Society in India, Yuga?

Yeah

Well, I'm going to be buried by that church

Yeah?

So they gotta find another place to do it, that's all

Plenty of time to go. You have another fifty years, you're lucky

Uh, Duke lived to be 77 years old right?

Right!

I'm gonna cut him!

Coltrane was very strong, you know

I'm gonna cut Duke
