	    	F#		D#		   
	    The piano has been 	drinking
		G#		C#
	    my  necktie is asleep 
		F#		D#	
   	and the combo went back	to new york
		G#		C#
	    the juke box has to take a leak

		F#	       D#		
	and the carpet needs a hair cut
		G#			C#
	and the spot light looks like a prison break
		
		F#		   D#
      cause the telephone is outta cigarettes
		G#	   C#
	and the balcony is on the make
		F#	       D#	
	and the piano has been drinking
	    	G#	       C#
	    the piano has been drinking

		F#	      D#
	and the menus are all freezing
	    G#			  C#
    and the light man's blind in one eye
		F#		     D#
	and he  can't see out of the other
		G#		    C#	
	and the piano tuner's got a hearing aid
	    F#			D#
	and showed up with his Mother
		G#	       C#
	and the piano has been drinking
	    F#		   D#
	the piano has been drinking

	as the bouncer is a sumo wrestler
	cream puff caspar milktoast
	and the owner is a mental midget
	with the IQ 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 cant get served without her

	and the box office is drooling
	and the bar stools are on Fire
	and the newspapers were fooling
	and the ashtrays 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
