So nice to be here With all you good people Is anybody listening To what we're doing tonight Could you give us a chance While you hit the sauce Might try a little flash up here Just to get ourselves across Hit It Let the spirit linger Get Up And do the spider fingers I could show you on a table I could show you on a chair It's best shown on the black and whites I know I could take you there It's just a little hand trick A little prestidigitation Better get out your Hanon Practice and repetition We better do something Before they tell us to get lost Sometimes you've just got to repeat yourself Just to get your point across Hit it And let the spirit linger Get up Do the spiderfingers A little spider tongue How long will we be here Well, babe, I just don't know Depends on the fate, the luck of the draw Or maybe a flashy little show Hit It Let the spirit linger Get up Do the spider fingers |

She walked into town in a long white gown And the band played on with no one around And the rice was gone hours ago And the white wheeled limousine's standing alone Well, they met at the club where the brasses blow Where the wine did flow, oh, he moved so slow But finally one night as the wind stood still Het got up the nerve and she said "I will" The day did come and the groomsmen arrived Came a little early to go over their lines As they walked to the church on the cobblestones Was heard in the bushes a moan and a groan Well, she walked into town in a long white gown And the band played on with no one around And the rice was gone hours ago And the white wheeled limousine's standing alone She didn't want to think that she lived a lie There was always talk of a wandering eye He'd come to the club abd he'd look all around It took a fair-minded man not to wonder aloud Well, she walked into town in a long white gown And the band played on with no one around And the rice was gone, oh hours ago And the white wheeled limousine's standing alone And the father of the bride is drinking so slow |

The scene is set, everybody's in place Two chairs filled for every five gone to waste Pantsuit girl give me a nasty gaze She says play that on your own time Walk to the bandstand blow my horn Nobody knows what we're really here for Let's take it out hard till they show us the door It's us against them tonight Play the changes Make the changes hear the changes Take it out hard till they show us the door A girl with a nose ring said to me She said where's the joy in your delivery I said maybe there's not supposed to be Any real joy here at all She sat there with that plaster smile As we sit jiving but in a little while Holding her hair she joined the single file And walked on down the hall Play the changes Make the changes Hear the changes It's us against them, them tonight The owner says he thinks we need some work Got a place for you, got some roadwork Laying asphalt on the interstate Nobody cares and why should they A white girl in a dashiki says you're all the rage My friends and I think you're quite the sage Wear a kofu and a finger gauge To see which way the wind blows today Play the changes See the changes Hear the changes To see which way the wind blows today Old friend Dave with the silver spoon Says why don't you play those good old tunes Give it up now, you could fill the room I say there's nothing like a good Trane tune Changes These things called changes Where do we go from here |

Parking lot's full, the crowd's here All to see and hear the food and beverage seer Bumpin' time, everyone side to side Left allemand and do-pah-so time Here she comes, coming round the bend Been to the bathroom and she's going back again Fix the hair, baby powder the shine Just to give a good cold shoulder next time Been around town and we're going again Hallalujah when you get to the end Summer's come now don't you feel the sting All going down looking for the tango king Look at Pete, he's a lounge lizard All want to stand where eh stands Spin that girl neath the colored ball Fancy plaid man's the envy of all Been around town and we're going again Hallalujah when you get to the end Summer's come now don't you feel the sting All going down looking for the tango king All the sounds, and truth is found with a drink in hand Kings of lounge, and button-downs are coming back again Coming back again Been around town and we're going again Hallalujah when you get to the end Summer's come now don't you feel the sting All going down looking for the tango king |

Cocked and ready oh here i stand Anticipating the laying on of hands Might be frivolous, may be profound But it feels like deliverance going down Hey now, come on around The big rumble is coming down Go tell it on the mountainside Over the hills and across the sky Hey now, watch out, run Big rumble is about to come Go tell it to the people there Over the hills and everywhere The young girls screaming as the gym rat speaks Might see some walk-on on a shooting streak Big snake charmers and medicine men Some like daniels in the lion's den Hey now, come on around The big rumble is coming down Go tell it on the mountainside Over the hills and across the sky Hey now, watch out, run Big rumble is about to come Go tell it to the people there Over the hills and everywhere A man with a ball as a saviour too A strange conception of the holy truth The biggest and the baddest of moses too Works for some, maybe me and you Hey now, come on around The big rumble is coming down Go tell it on the mountainside Over the hills and across the sky Hey now, watch out, run Big rumble is about to come Go tell it to the people there Over the hills and everywhere |

Deep down in the south country Over where a paper mill runs Lived a man, a young coutnry doctor With a perfect wife and sons Well he worked his days And Sunday's he's pray And nobody knew Why the wife slowly withered away I saw the country doctor, to ask him what was wrong with me He was caught unaware, accidental and devil may care Behind the curtain I see, two shadows in front of me Oh, nobody knows the trouble I've seen My guess, there was another woman And with the kids and the money there was a lot to lose He said she had a rare affliction And he was doing all he could do And we all believed him Felt so sorry and then I thought once he was a fine man Now I don't remember when I saw the country doctor, to ask him what was wrong with me He was caught unaware, accidental and devil may care Behind the curtain I see, bottles unmarked in front of me Whoa, nobody knows the trouble I've seen I saw the country doctor, in a place where he didn't see me Way out in the middle of the night where he thought no one could see Over there in the parlor room, making eyes, hands roaming free Someone soon must know, the trouble I've seen Did you think about the young ones One day they'll know it was you And if they let you off one day Who then will you turn to And my wife remembers one thing She said I remember kind of strangely At a friends wedding one time It was just a look that he gave me |

Someone's dancing on the table Someone's got an old book in the back Some old jocks are sitting round their neighbors Exaggerating their stats Again There's Mr. D.E. in the corner Dancing with Miss Virginia former I didn't htink I'd really have a good time But I don't remember you looking so fine It's been a long dark night alright I've been running on a low love light Maybe the longest night Maybe it's over, over tonight Most everyone all around Most have an interesting story Even those who don't have much to say Even interest me when they're just boring To him And then there's Mr. B.M.O.C. Talking so loud to Mr. P.E. Someone said that his best days are past But I know this first chance won't be his last It's been a long dark night alright I've been running on a low love light Maybe the longest night Maybe it's over, over tonight Hey now Mr. D.J. Keep those good songs coming Cause I'm having such a good time tonight Moving making up for so much long lost time Not much going since the old days One long solo ride I came here just to live in the past But maybe I'm seeing the future at last It's been a long dark night alright I've been running on a low love light Maybe the longest night Maybe it's over, over tonight |

We've lived around here most all of our lives Did most anything we wanted to do We will celebrate every 4th of July Just a little tamer than most of the rest of us do Don't light a match, don't play with fire Pull down easy on the gas lighter There's a shelter down at the veteran's hall Living in the shadow of the hot house ball We can dance in the streets any night or day The big ball men built such a nice old park One day we'll celebrate every Halloween Our faces as masks everyone glow in the dark Don't light a match, don't play with fire Step real lightly on the barbed wire Keep the noise down to hear the meltdown call Living in the shadow of the hot house ball Temper's hot, better pray for rain Better watch out now for the gamma rays Party time at the government gate Don't light a match, don't play with fire Pull down easy on the gas lighter There's a shelter down at the veteran's hall Living in the shadow of the hot house ball |

I heard you say that tonight's the night You say there's a party going on I'm in the door like an old 78 side And I hear 'em out hitting on a Coleman song My friend John with a mirror and a spoon Got a belt and mainline scene A couple getting off in the back room And someone's collecting money for the friend in need Sounds like a good time, a ball to me Sounds like a place I'd like to be There's a little crowd you're gonna want to meet They got a thing going on Swing Street Nice old man in the corner booth Making time with Jive-time Stu She makes her sting neath the table blue She says she's a actor but she's hooking as a sideline too Sounds like a good time, a ball to me Sounds like a place I'd like to be Everybody rolls when it's time to meet They got a thing going on Swing Street You say there's nothing but bums around here Listen to the sound of the cymbal so clear Cutting contest on the stand Somebody's trying to blow you away What makes him swing harder than you do Better hit the woodshed for ninety days Sounds like a good time, a ball to me Sounds like a place I'd like to be There's a little crowd you're gonna want to meet They got a thing going on Swing Street |

It's been a long time coming This feeling I've got That things'll always go your way Such a long shot Been so deep in the hole Thought I'd never come out Anything can happen Oh, I know that now One slip One fall A turn of the head can change it all A step ahead A step behind A blink of an eye at the wrong time North, South, East, and West Spin the wheel and hope for the best No regrets and it's on we roll Put it in drive, set the cruise control Walk tall, anywhere you go Wheels roll, and the whistle will blow Many miles, oh, I may roam Put it in drive, set the cruise control He was holding on, he trusted me Then he slipped away He fell hard and now I've just got myself to blame When he smiled at me finally Oh, I came around You can't worry, you never know So don't beat yourself down One slip One Fall A turn of the head can change it all A step ahead A step behind A blink of an eye at the wrong time North, South, East, and West Spin the wheel and hope for the best No regrets and it's on we roll Put it in drive, set the cruise control Walk tall anywhere you go Wheels roll and the whistle will blow Many miles, oh I may roam Put it in drive, set the cruise control In my darkest hour, my longest day Oh, my mind was a prison I could feel it taking me down to stay Then I said "forget this" It's out of your hands, any way North, South, East, and West Spin the wheel and hope for the best No regrets and it's on we roll Put it in drive, set the cruise control Wheels roll and the whistle will blow Walk tall anywhere you go Many miles, oh I may roam Put it in drive, set the cruise control Oh where I'll go I just don't know Pick myself up and roll, roll Up shead I can't see at all Take it slow, let the cards fall |
