My necktie’s asleep

The combo went back to New York,
F#m7
B
B7
The jukebox has to take a leak
E
C#m7
and the carpet needs a haircut?
F#m7
B
B7
And the spotlight looks just like a prison break
E
C#m7
And the telephone’s out of cigarettes
F#m7
B
B7
As usual the balcony’s on the make
E
C#m7
And the piano has been drinking
F#m7
B
B7
The piano has been drinking
E
C#m7
and the menus are all freezing
F#m7
B
B7
and the lightman’s blind in one eye
E
C#m7
and he can’t see out of the other
F#m7
B
B7
and the piano-tuner’s got a hearing aid
E

F#m7
B

cream puff casper milk toast
E
C#m7
and the owner is a mental midget
F#m7
B
B7
with the I.Q. of a fencepost
E
C#m7
cause the piano has been drinking
F#m7
B
B7
the piano has been drinking…
E
C#m7
and you can’t find your waitress
F#m7
B
B7
with a Geiger counter
E
C#m7
And she hates you and your friends
F#m7
B
B7
and you just can’t get served
E
C#m7
and the box-office is drooling
F#m7
B
B7
and the bar stools are on fire
E
C#m7
and the newspapers were fooling
F#m7
B
B7
and the ash-trays have retired
E
C#m7
the piano has been drinking
E
C#m7
the piano has been drinking
