[Lyrics in double parentheses indicate lead singer and backup

all sing.]

((I used to play and sing all over the world.))

((I sold millions of albums and I partied for free.))

((When I was touring I had so many girls.))

((They'd throw panties on stage,))

((And flash their hooters at me.))

((And though some things have surely changed since '72,))

((And though there's not as many fans at my show,))

((It don't bother me.))

((I'm just a singer at a Holiday Inn.))

Ok, now, here's a little number we used to do when we were out

on the road with the big band. Maybe you remember this one?

I used to wander on the face of this earth,

((Meetin' so many people who were try'n to be free.))

Hey, but now I'm here every Tuesday through Sunday night, two

shows nightly, meetin' all you nice people, yeah!

((...now he's found the key.))

And if you want the winds of change to blow about you...

Then, hey, you better tip your waitresses, you know what I'm

saynin' to ya? I think you do.

Don't tell me,

((He's just a singer in a Holiday Inn.))

Yeah!

How about a big hand for Charlie, on guitar! He's workin' overtime

for ya. And my lovely wife, Candy, on background vocals. Thank you,

sweetheart.

Alright. We wanna thank you. We're here again, every Tuesday through

Sunday, two shows nightly. We are the Moody Tunes.
