One By One |
Well, the Knicks lost big to Cleveland |
At the Garden Friday night |
So I wandered down Eight Avenue |
To get a little tight |
Got into a little scuffle all because of Willis Reed |
Now there’s one more bar in New York |
I can’t get me what I need |
One by one, the doors are closing |
One by one, they’re shutting down |
One by one, the word is spreading |
One by one, all over town |
One by one, my many options |
One by one, they’re falling down |
Dropping off like flies |
One by one |
Well, I had a job last summer writing copy for the Post |
The hours were a bummer |
The pay was worse than most |
Missed a couple deadlines and I got the bum’s rush |
Another golden opportunity turned to mush |
Ch |
Well, I spent my last ten dollars on a longshot at the track |
Hit on the exacta, I got 700 back |
Now my rent is paid, I’ve got some groceries and some wine |
One by one, it all is working out |
Everything is fine |
