Mose allison played here

The joint is a dump
the owner is broke
at least that's what he said
the p.a.'s a joke
the waitpersons are snotty, the bartender's rude
they want to make sure I know they forgot me
but not their attitude
the bellyachers played last night
everybody got sick
don't even try dancing, your feet would just stick
the band signs their poster
"fuck u miguel"
and that's all the good part
the bad part's the smell
and what was your name again, oh - yeah - right - brown
your crowd just drinks water
surprised you're still around

and nobody's coming, because hey man you see
advertising's expensive, hey, what guarantee

but as I set up I am proud to be here
because once last November, Mose Allison played here
