We [Bm] introduce to you on this [C] live summer evening, the members of our [A] band.
We've been touring with these guys all summer and we think they're the G.E..D.s. [G] [D] Let me introduce to you our lead [E] guitarist and musical director. [B] [G] [C] [A]
[G] [A] I'm the band's head saxophone, all the way from New York City. [Dm] [G] Turn around for the saxophone, Mr. Walt Whitecock. [C] [Dm] [F] [C] [G] I'm the trumpet's blowhorn, Mr. Michael Renhart. [F] [G] [F] [G] And I'm the tenor [E] trombone and vocal instrument, if ever there was one, Mr. QMQ. [C] [F] [C] [Dm] [C] Breaking on down, [Dm] the bass man. [C] [Db] [N]
I feel [C] like I've been speaking to a great number of you guys [D] today, but it's still [Gb] the bass player that makes the [B] matter. [C] [A] [C] [A]
[F] [A]
I'm the legendary Freddie Walsh again. [C] [A] [C]
[A]
I'm the one that's here now. I don't know how long we're going to wait for him, I'll be true. Yes, we're all out in the band's man's world, but it wouldn't mean nothing without a woman or a girl. [F] [G] I believe that the girl's costume tonight reflects the national [Dm] colors here in Switzerland. [A] [D] Please welcome to New [Am] York City, Ms. Carolyn Lenhart Escoffrey. [D] [G] [F] [G] And [D] birthday girl, C.C. Meisel. Happy birthday to you. [A] [C] [G] I'm the cello guitarist, Ryan. [A] [F] [G] I'm the vocalist, [Dm] [A]
[G]
[Eb] [A] [A] Michael. Are [G] we vocalists tonight? [A] Yeah, we are. [G] So we need [A] his tune to be related [F] to the melody. [A] [D] I'm the only one. The original, the originator. [Dm] [B] [G] [Dm]
