About the Artist
Lyrics
The drumsticks were his treasure trove Found in the ashes of The Coconut Grove Hey man, can you give me something? Hey man, did you give me something? Hey man, nothing comes from nothing Hey man, something came from somewhere Hey man, it's a tenement song Just there on the tip of your tongue Let's play on a tenement song On and on and on (Tenement song) (Tenement song) Tall bottle and one more smoke (Tenement song) She lived through the fire but the piano got broke (Tenement song) Hey man, can you give me something? Hey man, did you give me something? Hey man, it's a tenement song Just there on the tip of your tongue Let's play on a tenement song On and on and on Hey man, it's a tenement song Just there on the tip of your tongue Let's play on a tenement song On and on and on (On and on and on)
