Hightower Tony - Bar B Q lyrics

rate me

There's an old lady, she lives on my floor<br />

She broke her hip last spring, she don't get out much anymore<br />

She's up with all the phone in hosts<br />

Though she don't care if she know 'em<br />

And it was for her that I wrote this poem.<br />

I ain't as old as I like to think I am<br />

Sometimes I still get that lively feeling<br />

I wanna clean the house or run a mile<br />

Or try to jump up and slap the ceiling<br />

Throw the furniture across the room<br />

Sing to myself a little out of tune<br />

Turn out the lights and hang a moon out the window at the neighborhood below<br />

I sent a postcard to Jeopardy! Last year<br />

It'd be a good excuse to get down to L.A.<br />

I won a freezerful of beef on a phone-in show<br />

My freezer's full but give it time, y'know<br />

When I'm on, my luck is out of sight<br />

But I work hard and I do alright<br />

So let's have a barbeque tonight at my house!<br />

If I sat down and counted my blessings<br />

I'd be cheating if I got past two or three<br />

So If I seem a bit wierded out sometimes<br />

Just smile and nod and humour me<br />

And this is Louie the Mute, say hello to him<br />

And Maxie makes shoes out of soda straws<br />

And that in the corner is Carlos;<br />

He's got the biggest collection of bullwhips I bet you've ever seen!<br />

And who cares if our friendship is discreet<br />

Or if it's mainly because of the meat<br />

Cos I'm completely happy tonight<br />

Well, pretty close.<br />

(Hey Carlos, can I touch them?)
