The Piano Has Been Drinking lyrics
The piano has been drinking
My necktie is asleep
And the combo went back to New York
The jukebox has to take a leakAnd the carpet needs a haircut
And the spotlight looks like a prison break
'Cause the telephone's out of cigarettes
And the balcony's on the makeAnd the piano has been drinking
The piano has been drinkingAnd 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 motherAnd the piano has been drinking
The piano has been drinking'Cause the bouncer is a sumo wrestler
Cream puff Casper milk toast
And the owner is a mental midget
With the I.Q. of a fencepost'Cause the piano has been drinking
The piano has been drinkingAnd 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 herAnd 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 drinkingNot me, not me, not me, not me, not me
