A Sight For Sore Eyes
Tom Waits

hey sight for sore eyes it's a long time no see
water under the bridge didya see my new car

workin hard hardly workin hey man you know me
well it's bought and it's payed for parked outside of the bar
and hey barkeeper what's keepin you keep pourin drinks
and old drysdale and mantle whitey ford and to you
that we toast to the old days and dimagio too
for all these palookas hey you know what i thinks

no the old gang ain't around everyone has left town
'cept for thumm and giardina said they just might be down
oh half drunk all the time and i'm all drunk the rest
yea monk's till the champion but i'm the best

hell that must of been two or three years ago now
i guess you heard about nash he was killed in a crash
and he died with the radio on
yea he spun out and he rolled he hit a telephone pole
no she's married and with a kid finally split up with sid
he's up north for a nickle's worth for armed robbery

well then go on over and ask her to dance hey i'll play you some pin ball hell you ain't got a chance
