Music ManHey, Music Man, Music ManLet me hear you play what you can, When I hear you on the air, I know when to pull up the chair. Hey, Music Man, Hey, Music Man, Play for us another good song again. Let us hear those twanglin notes, We need not take another road. In the beginning of your song I know it won't take too long, Before it takes any of us to sing Before any of us start in again. At the end of our dreams When we've seen what we need Then we wait in silence for your word; "Another word please," and you'll be heard. When I was a rock star I was just twiddlin my thumbs, Now I'm doing country songs Hey Lord, I'm touching the sun! |
I Want To Play Guitar (but I keep falling asleep)I want to play guitar, butI keep falling asleep. And when I open my eyes to begin, I just keep falling asleep, falling asleep. I dream of those sweet nights When I practice playing, and the days. And all the time I'm sleeping, But I still remain, Falling asleep, falling asleep. Oh, I just remembered Have to finish that song, This time it's not Mozart, Beethoven But something of my own, And I am falling asleep. And when the evening's end I've played it all in my head, Twenty new songs or more, And still, I snore- For I'm still falling asleep. |
