JONATHAN<br>
<br>
When I was nine, Michael and I<br>
Entered a talent show down at the Y<br>
<br>
Nine A.M. went to rehearse by some stairs<br>
Mike couldn't sing<br>
But I said, "No one cares"<br>
We sang "Yellow Bird" and "Let's Go Fly A Kite"<br>
Over and over and over<br>
Till we got it right<br>
<br>
When we emerged from the YMCA<br>
Three o'clock sun had made the grass<br>
Hey, I thought, <br>
Hey, what a way to spend the day<br>
Hey, what a way to spend the day<br>
<br>
I make a vow, right here and now<br>
I'm gonna spend my time this way<br>
<br>
When I was sixteen, Michael and I<br>
Got parts in West Side<br>
At White Plains High<br>
<br>
Three o'clock went to rehearse in the gym<br>
Mike played Doc, who didn't sing<br>
Fine with him<br>
<br>
We sang, "gotta rocket in your pocket and the <br>
Jets's are gonna have their day tonight"<br>
Over and over and over<br>
Till we got it right<br>
<br>
When we emerged, wiped out by that play<br>
Nine o'clock, stars and moon lit the way<br>
<br>
I thought, <br>
Hey, what a way to spend a day<br>
Hey, what a way to spend a day<br>
<br>
I made a vow<br>
I wonder now<br>
Am I cut out to spend my time this way?<br>
<br>
With only so much time to spend<br>
Don't wanna waste the time I'm given<br>
Have it all, play the game<br>
Some recommend<br>
I'm afraid, it just may be time to give in<br>
<br>
I'm twenty-nine, Michael and I<br>
Live on the west side of SoHo and Y<br>
<br>
Nine A.M. I write a lyric or two<br>
Mike sings a song now on Mad Avenue<br>
I sing, "come to your senses<br>
Defenses are not the way to go"<br>
Over and over and over<br>
Till I got it right<br>
<br>
When I emerge from B Minor or A<br>
Five o'clock, diner calls, I'm on my way<br>
<br>
I think,<br>
Hey, what a way to spend a day<br>
Hey, what a way to spend a day<br>
<br>
I make a vow<br>
Right here and now<br>
<br>
I'm gonna spend my time this way<br>
I'm gonna spend my time this way<br>
<br>
