“It’s called a motif.” lyrics

[BUD, spoken]
Now, Doug, are my ears playing tricks on me
Or did Monk just sing a little bit of Haunted German Wood again?

[DOUG, spoken]
Your ears are perfect, Bud
It's called a motif

[BUD, spoken]
But Doug, what is a motif?

[DOUG, spoken]
A motif is when you use the same music over and over again
But it's not lazy
