Mitchell W. Wood, better known as Booty Wood (December 27, 1919, Dayton, Ohio - June 10, 1987, Dayton) was an American jazz trombonist.
Wood played professionally on trombone from the late 1930s. He worked with Tiny Bradshaw and Lionel Hampton in the 1940s before joining the Navy during World War II. While there he played in a band with Clark Terry, Willie Smith, and Gerald Wilson. After his service ended he returned to play with Hampton, then worked with Arnett Cobb (1947–48), Erskine Hawkins (1948-50), and Count Basie (1951).
He spent a few years outside of music, then played with Duke Ellington in 1959-60 and again in 1963; he returned once more early in the 1970s. He again played with the Count Basie Orchestra from 1979 into the middle of the following decade.
The ppython is waiting,we take it
A twisted tomato,forsaken
"What's got into me?What's got into you?
We're naked."
(Everybody's gonna say it)
Mama says to me,mama says to me,
(Homeless made us find our glory)
Mama said,"No more."
Finding our way like a teen here in space
Disembrace what we always remember
It don't cost a dime if you're lucky in time
So you might as well make this all something
The garbage,this music,what I feel
Well listen what we do,where we've been
We got into see,we get in to do,
We're taken aback
(Everybody's gonna say it)
Mama said to me,mama said to me,
(Homeless made us find glory)
Mama said,"It's good."
Finding our way like a teen here in space
Disembrace what we always remember
It don't cost a dime 'cause we're lucky in time
So we might as well make this all something
Findin' out!
Finding our place like a teen here in space
Disembrace what we always remember
It don't cost a dime 'cause we're lucky in time
So you might as well make this all something
We're various traits of a thousand and one
Generations we'll never remember
It's only as if you could never believe
That by chance you couldn't even be here
Bring it back,bring it back
What you said,what you said
Mama said to me,mama said to me
Mama said to me,"Good."
Mama said to me,mama said to me
