We Real Cool

THE POOL PLAYERS.
SEVEN AT THE GOLDEN SHOVEL.



We real cool. We
Left school. We

Lurk late. We
Strike straight. We

Sing sin. We
Thin gin. We

Jazz June. We
Die soon.

I think it's just evoking summer nights listening to music and hangin' out on the streets. But that could be too literal...
