E C#m

The piano has been drinking

F#m B B7

My necktie is asleep

E C#m

And the combo went back to New York

F#m B B7

The jukebox has to take a leak

E C#m

And the carpet needs a haircut

F#m B B7

And the spotlight looks like a prison break

E C#m

Cause the telephone's out of cigarettes

F#m B B7

And the balcony's on the make

E C#m

And the piano has been drinking

F#m B B7

The piano has been drinking

E C#m

And the menus are all freezing

F#m B B7

And the light man's blind in one eye

E C#m

And he can't see out of the other

F#m B B7

And the piano-tuner's got a hearing aid

E C#m

And he showed up with his mother

F#m B B7

And the piano has been drinking

E C#m

The piano has been drinking

F#m B B7

Cause the bouncer is a sumo wrestler

Cream puff Casper milk toast

And the owner is a mental midget

E C#m

With the I.Q. of a fencepost

F#m B B7

Cause the piano has been drinking

E C#m

The piano has been drinking

F#m B B7

And you can't find your waitress

E C#m

With a geiger counter

F#m B B7

And she hates you and your friends

E C#m

And you just can't get served without her

F#m B B7

And the box-office is drooling

E C#m

And the bar stools are on fire

F#m B B7

And the newspapers were fooling

E C#m

And the ash-trays have retired

F#m B B7

Cause the piano has been drinking

E C#m

The piano has been drinking

F#m B B7

The piano has been drinking

E C#m F#m B B7

Not me, not me, not me, not me,

not me.
