Well, Johnny come in last night.Man he was an awful sight.The Bartender said, "Hey Johnny!There'll be no band tonight""The piano-man's drunk,He been down in the dumps.The drummer's in bed,He got a pain in his head.No Johnny,There'll be no band tonight."The clock was stickin' close to tenThe mailman came runnin' in.He said, "Any-body here named Johnny?I got a Special deliv'ry for him.""It's from a woman he knows,It's from his Bayou Rose,The girl of his dreamswants a wedding ring"........Love Rosie"I've got a letter for him".Well Johnny jumped up from his beerTold the mailman, "Yes I'm here"An' then he read it out loud to the bar room crowdBut before they had a chance to cheerSongtexteHe said "Call up the bandI'm a happy manI want them to playOn my wedding day"When he told them,They had a chance to cheer.The piano-man came even though it was rainin'The drummer was drummn' just like an insane man.They tore off the roof they knocked down the doorsAnd Johnny an' his bride drove away in her FordSlappin' the dash to the beat of the bandDraggin' behind them a string of tin cansAnd they ain't been back yet but I know when they doJohnny's gonna play some of the sweetest blues Aus Songtexte Mania
