E C#m7 F#m7 B B7
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
E C#m
Cream puff Casper milk toast
F#m B B7
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,
E
not me.
