Well, I stand on the stage, my guitar in my hands Computer generated music, my backup band, Oh, the audience is wild, this cold New Year's Eve As they bask in the glory of the song about me. 2. I'm moaning and groaning and strumming along Bestowing my gifts to this worshipping throng, And the frowns on their faces quickly smile with glee When they realise I'm singing another song about me 3. Now some people may complain the song has no name, That my songs are no good, they all sound the same But I'm the one who wrote them and I know you'll agree It's a divine privilege to hear a song about me 4. Then in comes the drunkard, all covered with beer, He pulls down a chair, and plops down his fat rear, He burps out aloud, interrupting my key He is showing no respect to the song about me 5. His glasses stand empty as he gets up to leave My eyes open on shock it's so hard to believe My soulful singing quickly turns into a plea As I sing to an empty bar, The Song About Me. nathan tompkins |
