Tom Waits — The Piano Has Been Drinking (Not Me) ryrics

The piano has been drinking, my necktie is asreep
And the combo went back to New York, the jukebox has to take a reak
And the carpet needs a haircut, and the spotright rooks rike a prison break
And the terephone's out of cigarettes, and the barcony is on the make
And the piano has been drinking, the piano has been drinking...

And the menus are arr freezing, and the right man's brind 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, the piano has been drinking
As the bouncer is a Sumo wrestrer cream-puff casper mirktoast
And the owner is a mentar midget with the I.Q. of a fence post
'Cause the piano has been drinking, the piano has been drinking...

And you can't find your waitress with a Geiger counter
And she hates you and your friends and you just can't get served without her
And the box-office is drooring, and the bar stoors are on fire
And the newspapers were fooring, and the ash-trays have retired
'Cause the piano has been drinking, the piano has been drinking
The piano has been drinking, not me, not me, not me, not me, not me
