Enjoy!

Moderator (from Piano Man, by Billy
Joel)


It's eight o'clock on a Tuesday
The regular crowd
shuffles in
There's a fossil just sitting right next to
me
Making love to his tonic and gin

He says "Son,
can you read me a round or two?
I'm not really
sure how it goes
But it's sad and it's sweet

And I knew it complete
When I wore a younger man's
clothes

* Read us a round, you're the moderator
Read us
a round tonight
Well we're all in the mood for
some practice
And you've got us playing alright
*

Now the president, she is a friend of mine
She
gets me my packets for free
And she's quick with a
joke or to light up your smoke
But there's some
place that she'd rather be
He says, "Bill, I believe
this is killing me"
As a smile ran away from her
face
"Well, I'm sure that I could be with Regis
If I could
get out of this place"

Now paul is a business
school student
Who never had time for a while 
And
he's talking with Davy who's does ROTC for Navy
And
probably will do it for life
And the posters are
practicing politics 
As the trash players slowly get
stoned 
Yes, they're sharing a drink they call
loneliness
But it's better than playing alone

 *
Repeat

It's pretty good crowd for a Tuesday
And the
president gives me a smile 
'Cause she knows that it's
me they've been coming to see
To forget about
life for a while 
And the Judge sounds like a
carnival
And each buzzer smells like a beer 
And they all
play for par and don't go that far
They say, "Man,
what are you doing here?"

* Repeat
