[Intro]
This is a song about, uh
Could you turn this up so I could hear it?
This is a song about, uh, uh
This is about the first club I worked at
The first club I worked at
This, uh, fellow and his wife owned the place and she was, uh, the boss 'cause she talked faster than he did
And, uh, the only trouble was, like, she drank a lot of, uh, martinis, and, uh
When she would say something it was all one word, you know?
It'd be real long, but, just, you know
She wore white gogo boots and
You couldn't understand her
She couldn't remember anybody's name that played in the place and she so used to call thеm
The performers by thе nights of the week they worked on
She would refer to you as, uh, if she was gossiping about you, you know, she'd talk about you as, um
Well, Tuesday, you know, was talking to Saturday about it, and
You know, Sunday said it sucked, you know, and
That's the only thing I could ever understand her saying
Are you turning us up? Are you really doing that?
I can't, I still can't hear it
[Verse 1]
Strolling down the highway with my shoes in my hand
I don't talk much, I'm a quiet man
Beauty and silence both run deep
And I'm running like crazy while you are asleep
[Chorus]
You got news for me
I got nothing for you
Don't pin your blues on me
Just go ahead and do whatever you wish to
[Verse 2]
Last Monday night, I saw a fight
Between Wednesday and Thursday over Saturday night
Tuesday asked me what was going on
I said, "Sunday's in the meadow and Friday's in the corn"
[Chorus]
You got news for me
I got nothing for you
Don't pin your blues on me
Just go ahead and do whatever you wish to
[Verse 3]
Hocus-pocus, maladjusted
Don't you think my tears get rusted?
Steady losing means you ain't using
What you really think is right
[Chorus]
You got news for me
I got nothing for you
Don't pin your blues on me
Just go ahead and do whatever you wish to
[Outro]
Oodles of light, what a beautiful sight
Both of God's eyes are shining tonight
Rays and beams of incredible dreams
And I am a quiet man
Oodles of light, what a beautiful sight
Both of God's eyes are shining tonight
Rays and beams of incredible dreams
And I am a quiet man
Oodles of light, what a beautiful sight
Both of God's eyes are shining tonight
Rays and beams of incredible dreams
And I am a quiet man
Oodles of light, what a beautiful sight
Both of God's eyes are shining tonight
Rays and beams of incredible dreams
And I am a quiet man
