I met you at a party, it was 10 pm.
I was outside being sick so I called inside again.
I opened another bottle, but that made 'em feel worse.
I was sick for the second time, it made me shout and curse.
The music played so loud it made my ears pop.
When I went dancing, down at the Bell End Bop.
They were doing it on the tables, they were doing it on the chairs.
They were doing it on the dance floor, they were doing it upstairs.
But the police came and raided the place, said the music was too loud.
I didn't want to get recognized so I mingled with the crowd.

They say you taught me how to talk
Bet you wish you taught me how to stop
you're far away now, wish I could take a walk with you someplace
you explained me to our parents
English wasn't their first language
They spoke German, hated Germans
confusing times
Oh sister
down midwest backseat bumpy seats
you sang my beatles songs with me
I sang your Broadway melodies, bad harmony
and where would Willie Mays have been
without Jackie Robinson
and who can say what I'd been
without you to lead the way
after I showed some guys I could drink
You picked me of

Hallelujah!
Go tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain
Jesus christ is born
Down the lonely manger
The humble Christ was born
And God sent salvation
That blessed Christmas morn
(repeat chorus)
While shepherds kept their watch
O'er silent flocks by night
Behold throughout the heavens
There shown a holy light
(repeat chorus and 1st verse)
(repeat chorus)

To a girl on the West Side
You kiss the beast, took her hand and
Made her your bride.
It all went wrong
In a spiral nightmare
There's nothing left
Except to stand in the mirror and stare.
All you had
It all got wasted
The better food
It all got tasted
No longer French, just the language of love is lost.
You got caught and now you pay the cost.
Sitting by the phone
It never seems to ring anymore
Looking at your past
Spread out before you on the floor
You count the days like minutes
On your carpet pool
You dial a number
It means you all
