_ [Abm] The jukebox says to [Db] take a leak.
[Gb] And the carpet needs [Eb] a haircut.
[Ebm] _ And [Abm] the spotlight [Ab] looks like [Db] a prison break.
[Gb] There's a telephone [Eb] and a [Ebm] cigarette. _
[Abm] And the _ _ _ balcony's on the [Ab] make.
And [Gb] the piano has been [Ebm] drinking.
_ _ _ [Abm] The piano has been [Db] drinking.
[Db] _
And [Gb] the menus are [Eb] all freezing.
_ [Abm] And the light man's blind [Db] in one eye.
And [Gb] they can't see out [Eb] of the other. _ _
And the [Abm] piano _ tuner's got [Db] a hearing aid.
[Ebm] And he [Gb] showed up with his [Eb] mother.
_ _ [Ebm] And the [Abm] piano _ has [Db] been drinking.
[Db] _
The [Gb] piano _ has been [Eb] drinking.
_ _ [Abm] As the bouncer _ [Db] is a sumo wrestler.
_ [Gb] _
Crane puff casts [Eb] for milk toast. _
And [Abm] the owner _ is [Db] a mental midget.
[Gb] With a IQ of a [Eb] fence post.
As [Abm] the piano [Ab] has [Db] been drinking. _ _
The [Gb] _ piano has [Ebm] been drinking.
_ _ _ [Abm] And you can't find [Db] your waitress.
_ _ [Gb] _
With a Geiger [Eb] counter. _ _
[Ebm] And [Abm] she hates you and your [Db] friends.
[Ab] And you [Gb] just can't get served [Eb] without her.
_ And [Abm] the box office is [Db] _ drooling. _
And [Gb] the bar stools are on [Ebm] fire.
_ And [Abm] the _ newspapers were [Db] fooling.
_ _ And [Gb] the _ ashtrays have [Ebm] retired. _ _
As the [Abm] piano has been [Db] drinking.
_ _ [Gb] The piano has been [Eb] drinking.
_ _ The [Abm] piano _ has [Db] been drinking.
[Db] _ _
Not [Gb] me.
_ _ [Eb] Not me. _ _ Not [Abm] me. _
_ [Db] Not me. _ _ _
Not [B] _ _ [Gb] me. _ _ _
