Lyrics

Playin’ With My Friends

[Verse 1: Tony Bennett]

I'm gonna call up some of my brothers

And a few of the ladies I know

I'm gonna rent a hall and get them all

Put on a heck of a show

Make sure that we got a kitchen

With an oven and a stove

We'll all get in there cookin'

Then we'll throw open the doors

[Chorus: Tony Bennett]

Playin' with my friends

Playin' with my friends

Playin' with my friends

We'll have a good time

Playin' with my friends

Natalie

[Verse 2: Natalie Cole & Tony Bennett]

Said I'm gonna boil me a pot of pasta, yeah

Some marinara too

A little macaroni and provolone

Enough for me and you

Sheryl

[Verse 3: Sheryl Crow & Tony Bennett]

Then we'll pass along the microphone

Greasy hands and all

Someone'll count off the shuffle

Man, we'll have a ball

[Chorus: Tony Bennett, k.d. lang, Natalie Cole & k.d. lang]

Playin' with my friends, k.d. 

Playin' with my friends

Playin' with my friends

We'll have a good time

Playin' with my friends

[Instrumental Break]

[Interlude: Tony Bennett]

Billy Joel

[Verse 4: Billy Joel & Tony Bennett]

Yeah, I'm gon' buy some of that red, red wine

The best that money can buy

I'm gon' drink it up from a paper cup

Look here, Saturday night is fine

Bonnie

[Verse 5: Bonnie Raitt, Tony Bennett, Diana Krall & B.B. King]

Yeah, everybody's gonna stand up

And sing their favorite tune

Diana

You can pick any tune that you want to

B.B. King

As long as it's the blues

[Chorus]

Playin' with my friends

Playin' with my friends

Playin' with my friends, oh

Have a good time with my friends

Oh, playin' with my friends

We'll have a good time playin' with my friends

Hahaha, Stevie Wonder

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]

Yeah, playin' with my friends

Playin' with my friends

Playin' with my friends

Kay Starr

Playin' with my friends

Playin' with my friends

Playin' with my friends

Playin' with my friends

Playin' with my friends

Playin' with my friends

We'll have a good time playin' with my friends
