The piano should curb his drinking,
his necktie needs to wake,
Combo come back you're making a really big mistake,
The juke box, well just keep your fluids away
or the juke box won't live to see another day.
The carpet needs a cleaner,
And the spotlight needs a dusting,
The telephone should stop smokin'
Unless he needs a bustin'
And give the balcony a break !

The telephone should stop smokin'

And give the balcony a break !
Tom Waits
The piano has been drinking,
My necktie is asleep,
And the combo went back to New York,
The jukebox has to take a leak,
And the carpet needs a haircut,
And the spotlight looks like a prison break,
'Cause the telephone's out of cigarettes,
And the balcony is on the make,
And the piano has been drinking.The piano has been drinking,
And the menus are all freezing,
And the light man's blind in one eye,
And he can't see out of the other,
And the piano tuner's got a hearing aid,
And he showed up with his mother,
And the piano has been drinking.
