Fun little porch song that involves family members sitting on the same porch, enjoying cold beverages.
Title: Guitar Man
(To the melody and structure of Billy Joel’s “Piano Man”)
It’s nine o’clock on a Saturday
The regular crowd shuffles in
There’s old Kyle sitting next to me
Makin’ love to his hand again and again
He says, “Son can you play me a sexy song”
I’m not really sure how it goes
But it’s sad and it’s sweet and I knew it complete
When I wore a younger girl’s clothes
La, la-la, di-di-da
La-la di-di-da da-dum
Sing us a song, you’re the guitar man
Play us a song tonight
Well, we’re all in the mood for a melody
And you’ve got us feelin’ alright
Now John over here is a brother of mine
He gets me my drinks for free
(No seriously get me a drink)
Thanks
…he actually went. I love that guy.
And he’s quick with a joke, or to give Sonya a poke
But there’s some place that he’d rather be
He says, “Mikey, I believe this is killing me”
As a smile ran away from his face
“Well, I’m sure that I could be a porno star
But all I’ve done so far is gay”
Oh, la, la-la, di-di-da
La-la di-di-da da-dum
Now Sonja Turner is worthless
And is always surrounded with strife
And she’s talkin’ with shelly, who’s still on welfare
And probably will be for life
And shelly is practicing welfare fraud
As the businessmen slowly get stoned
Yes, they’re sharing a drink they call loneliness
But it’s better than drinkin’ alone
Sing us the song, you’re the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
Well, we’re all in the mood for a melody
And you’ve got us feelin’ alright
It’s a pretty good crowd for a Saturday
And the manager gives me a smile
‘Cause he knows that it’s me they’ve been comin’ to see
To forget about life for a while
And the piano, it sounds like a carnival
And the microphone smells like a beer
And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar
And say man what are you doin’ here?
Oh, la, la-la, di-di-da
La-la di-di-da da-dum
Sing us the song, you’re the Guitar man
Sing us a song tonight
Well, we’re all in the mood for a melody
And you’ve got us feelin’ alright
