Waiting for Waits |
|
I think his music's great |
|
His stories are true |
|
And pure as pure can be, I tell ya |
|
Always in style |
|
He'll melt you with his smile |
|
I'm waitin' for Waits |
|
Waitin' for Waits |
|
Waitin' for Waits |
|
The piano has been drinking |
|
I heard Tom Waits singing |
|
Yes, (?) the piano's drunk, not me |
|
He's a killer |
|
Sure loves to swing |
|
The truth flows when he swings |
|
So don't hesitate |
|
Never be late |
|
Listen to Waits |
|
Godfather, tell us how you feel |
|
[scat sings] |
|
Hey, Tom Waits |
|
Won't you come in and sing your song for me |
|
We'll find you |
|
Straight to the top of the piano, wait and see |
|
Oh, Tom Waits |
|
You're just the thing, a boppin' cat like me |
|
The piano has been drinking |
|
I heard Tom Waits singing |
|
Yeah, (?) the piano's drunk, not me |
|
He's a thriller |
|
Sure loves to swing |
|
The truth flows when he'll sing |
|
So don't hesitate |
|
Listen to Waits |
|
Mister Tom Waits |
|
So listen to Waits |
|
Listen to Tom |
|
Mister Tom Waits |
|
You better come soon |
|
Eddie Jefferson's waited too long |
|
Where's Tom Waits, man? |
|
TW: |
|
"Oh, Eddie baby, I'm sorry, man, |
|
I'm deeply apologetic, man. |
|
I tried to make the gig, man, |
|
but I ended up on the corner of Heartattack and Vine, man, |
|
with this little bitch named Lola, see. |
|
We was drinkin' some green Chartreuse in a (?) little joint called Dupree's Paradise. |
|
Had a couple of Highballs, see man. |
|
Ended up at a little rib joint for some barbecue, man. |
|
I'm sorry, I lost track of time. |
|
I mean, I'm sorry I missed the gig, man... " |
