[C]
Mowing lawns, saving up for a guitar, [Fm] when I was [C] fifteen, had a long and lean,
and just like that grass, boy I was green.
Delivering roses in Washington D.C., going off to college so I had to save up,
but delivering roses really sucks, sweating all summer in a slimy tux,
[F] but at least I made a couple [C] bucks.
[F] [C]
[G] [C]
Freshman in college I was delivering pizza, but to deliver one pie was a half an hour round trip,
and college kids, man they don't care, [F] and so [C] I quit, [Dm] and it was their [C] loss,
[F]
cause I was the only [C] driver, [F] not stealing [C] from the boss, [Dm] and siphoning [A]
gas [F] from students' [C] cars.
[F] [C]
Metropolitan Museum, the telephone switchboard, when a caller would ask,
for Philippe De Montabella, I'd transfer to my apartment, where an unsuspecting fellow,
[F] my roommate [C] Stuart, [F] so [C] sound asleep, would answer the phone when he [F] heard the [C] beep,
[F] and pretty quick [C] they'd realize that he [F] wasn't [C]
Philippe.
[F] [C] [G]
[C]
Information counter at the Cloisters Museum, and one day Billy [F] Joel [C]
walks in,
[F] I take [C] a long, [F] long [C] look at him, [Dm]
a dignified old music [C] man,
[F] and that's when [C] I [Dm] devise my [C] plan.
[F]
[G] [C]
That little plan has brought me here, when [F] the spotlight [C] shines, [G] and the people [C] all cheer,
[F] and the pretty [C] girls flock [G] from far [C] and near, [F] to touch my [C] hand, [F] and hear [C] my song,
[F] and buy my [C] t-shirts [Dm] and sing [C] along, [F] god damn [C] this sure [G] beats mowing [Em] lawns.
