Lyrics - Spare Parts II and Closing I want to thank you all very much for coming this evening. It really made my night. It would have been real strange here if nobody would have showed up I'd like to introduce my group this evening and it's been a real preasure A preasure and a plivilege to work with these gentlemen I'd like to introduce Please give a warm round of applause for Michael Melvoin on piano! On saxophone, Pete Christlieb On bass, Jim Hughart And on drums, Bill Goodwin Yeah They all come from good families, but over the years they just Kind of individually developed some ways about them that just aren't right You know I was real pleased I noticed everybody coming in this evening you're all Decked out in full regalia and everything and I appreciate you getting Dressed up for an affair such as this. You know, I think it's something that I've always tried to be as concerned about as possible and somebody said To me one day 'Christ, Waits! You look so goddamned raggedy, why don't you get Yourself something to wear, you know?' I said, 'Yeah well, not a bad idea' Maybe a serious seersucker saturday evening cranberry accoutrement ensemble would be nice. So I went down to Zeider & Zeider and I said, 'I want something sharp!' I said, 'I'm kind of in the market, in the neighborhood of something like maybe some green gabardines with bonnaroo britches. And a leviticously deuteronomous sort of catastrophic lunchbox Stetson, you know. I'd like to get some danger high-voltage slacks, with high top, mid-noon, brushed suede penny loafers, so I can be passing out wolf tickets regardless of where I go.' Walk into the Twenty-Grand Club... And the Soul & Inspirations are playing Yeah, and you're cutting a rug and pulling on a coat and emoting. Band is kicking into some long version of 'Harlem Nocturne' or something You get designs on a girl in the corner You say, 'Say baby... live around here?' Yeah... I think I'm gonna plant you now and I'm gonna dig you later Make like a bakery truck and haul buns Make like a hockey player and get the puck out of here I gotta go see a man about a dog I'll see you later Thank you very much for coming this evening
