Singing at a Restaurant

V1:
I said sir I’m not a jukebox
I’m just one man
And it’s hard to pull off Stairway without a band
I would sing it if I knew it
I’m trying the best I can
So please would you try and understand

C:
That I’m singing at a restaurant
And getting kind of blue
It’s not exactly what I wanna do
They say, son, one day you’ll make it
But you’ve gotta pay your dues
That’s why I’m singing at a restaurant for you

V2:
I was halfway through the second verse
When another soccer mom
Asked if I could play Since U Been Gone
Would you please give me a minute
I’m in the middle of my song
And I promise if you wait it won’t be long

B:
Oh but don’t go feeling sad for me
Cause it really ain’t that bad
Though the crowd won’t always clap for me
They sometimes pay my tab

V3:
She was looking a little tipsy
When she asked me for the mic
It was late enough I didn’t try to fight
Then my show turned karaoke
And in the blink of an eye
We had butchered Norah Jones’s Don’t Know Why

C2:
And now we’re singing at a restaurant
And she’s a little out of tune
I’m afraid we might just empty out the room
They say, son, one day you’ll make it
And I hope it’s someday soon
Till then I’m singing at a restaurant with you
That’s why I’m singing at a restaurant for you
