"I can't find my note" Bemoans the confused singer "Quit now," we all pray An oxymoron: "He played the accordion With delicacy" Bassoons forever Try in vain not to sound like A farting bedpost Gig is going well Asshole requests "Danny Boy" I look at my watch Gorgeous chick tells me "You sound just like Kenny G" Hope no one heard her Great changes, good groove A one-in-a-million gig No singer. Yippee! Here's the girl singer Stepping to the microphone Pitch, Time, All gone now I once had a dream Big house, new car, big money Now I play the bass Money's everything Playing any gig that comes Whores, we are all whores Pit orchestra gig Days and nights become as one I have no damned life Squeaking and squawking All eyes roll to the heavens The clarinet speaks The accordion "Squeeze box," yes, but more often "The Stomach Steinway" The strings slowly tune When they're done the unisons Are anything but The woodwind doubler Practicing the piccolo Neighbor calls the cops
