The wide proliferation of the Real Book makes this progression the de facto standard for the bridge. The "New Real Book" shows alternate bridge chords:

The "New Real Book" shows alternate bridge chords: Db9 | Db9 | D9 | D9 | Eb9 E9 | Eb9 D9 | Db9 C9 | B9 C7 | This is the progression played by Monk himself. Mike Ferro wrote lyrics for the song in the 1970s, sometimes recorded under the title "It's Over Now".
