COLE ALLEN
A Song in Third Person
Cole’s up on the stage, sitting on his stool
Singing songs in 3rd person about some lonesome fool
It’s a 3 hour gig, $100 and tips
A couple of beers, a burger and chips
There’s a fat man at a table with his friends all around
They laugh at his jokes because he buys the round
They’re loud and obnoxious, unruly and raucous
Shouting out orders at the human jukeboxes
Play something we know
Something to dance to
Not too slow
Do you know that one by ol’ so and so?
Cole smiles and just says no
He smiles and just says no
Cole’s watching the Rangers up on the big screen
And trying to remember the next words to sing
And the crowd starts cheering when the song is done
Or maybe they were cheering for the Beltre home run
Yea I think they were cheering for the Beltre home run
Play something we know
Something to dance to
Not too slow
Do you know that one by ol’ so and so?
Cole smiles and just says no
He smiles and just says no
Play something we know
Something to dance too
Not too slow
Do you know that one by David Allan Coe?
Cole lies and just says no
For $20 he just might know
