Jeff's Song

Thomas Riley Smith c.2022

Church bells hang on a boardwalk breeze,
Sunday morning at nine, nearly nobody is out yet,
and that's the way we like it.
A good old dog and a sweet guitar
and the perfect almost rhyme.

I'll meet you down the street, Jeff.
Have you been playin' all night?
You must have been playin' all night.

Well, don't stop now, gimme an E.
We’ll play band of outlaws and all the children
will sing along, like they know the song.

Call me at ten and we'll change the world.
We’ve got to do something, got to do something.
Call me tonight and we'll change the world.
We’ve got to do something, got to do something.
And, the corner boys will sing sha la la la la la la la.

Call me at ten and we'll change the world.
We’ve got to do something, got to do something.
Call me at ten and we'll change the world.
We’ve got to do something, got to do something.
And, the Brooklyn girls will sing sha la la la la la la la.

Forty fives from seventy three,
Brighton Beach memories.
I wrote this part last night
Can you play it with me? That’s nice.
A good old dog and a sweet guitar
and the perfect almost rhyme.

I'll meet you down the street, Jeff.
Have you been playin' all night?
You must have been playin' all night.

Well, don't stop now, gimme an E.
We’ll play band of outlaws and all the children
will sing along like they know the song.

Yeah, they'll sing along, ‘cause they know the song.

I'll meet you down the street Jeff.
