The Piano Has Been Drinking (Not Me) |
The piano has been drinking, my necktie is asleep |
And the combo went back to New York, the jukebox has to take a leak |
And the carpet needs a haircut, and the spotlight looks like a prison break |
And the telephone’s out of cigarettes, and the balcony is on the make |
And the piano has been drinking, the piano has been drinking… |
And the menus are all freezing, and the light man’s blind in one eye |
And he can’t see out of the other |
And the piano-tuner's got a hearing aid, and he showed up with his mother |
And the piano has been drinking, the piano has been drinking |
As the bouncer is a Sumo wrestler cream-puff casper milktoast |
And the owner is a mental midget with the I.Q. |
of a fence post |
'Cause the piano has been drinking, the piano has been drinking… |
And you can’t find your waitress with a Geiger counter |
And she hates you and your friends and you just can’t get served without her |
And the box-office is drooling, and the bar stools are on fire |
And the newspapers were fooling, and the ash-trays have retired |
'Cause the piano has been drinking, the piano has been drinking |
The piano has been drinking, not me, not me, not me, not me, not me |
