Subway Sinatra

By Cchio

“I know I stand in line until you think you have the time to spend an evening with me…”

“And if we go some place to dance I know that there's a chance you won't be leaving with me…”

screeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

“Then afterwards we drop into a quiet little place and have a drink or two… And then I go and spoil it all by saying somethin' stupid like, "I love you"... I can see it in your eyes that you despise the same old lies you heard the night before… And though it's just a line to you, for me it's-”

Watchu lookin’ at?

PEEEP

There goes your train! Last one, better catch it now!

Suppose trains aren't really for dogs anyway.

Guess your settlin’ with me for the night then. 

What’s your name? Eh, doesn’t matter. 

No one bothers with mine either.

Don’t you pee on my newspapers or I’ll wipe ‘em with yourself!

Hey dog, wanna hear a joke? What did the- NO GIVE IT HERE! Give- GIVE IT! It’s my pillow you- Fine! Sit there then. It’s still mine. And I ain’t telling you that joke now, so there. 

Didn’t feel like sleepin’ anyway.

clack clack

Get ready for some teachin’ dog.

Go on, scoot over! Me and Nancy need room!

See this here’s the fretboard, it’s where you’d put your fingers if you had any.

These are the strings-

twang twang twang twang twang tWaNg

And- ooh that ain’t in tune- yeah yeah, I’m working on it! Patience boy!

twang twang twang twang twang twang

You’re a horrible student- I’m only letting you stay ‘cause you're cute.

Alright.

We call this one E, then A, D, G, B and E again.

twang twang twang twang twang twang twang

It’s the same one, see? Even though they’ different. It's called an octave.

When you play the strings you can make melodies like the one I was singin’ before, here watch.

PICTURE ??

“I practice every day to find some clever lines to say to make the meaning come true… But then I think I'll wait until the evening gets late and I'm alone with you…”

Why don’t you sing harmony, bet you got yourself some voice.

-STOP, heavens, I was kidding! No need for your sandpaper in my ears!

Yeesh.

Oh don’t look at me like that, you would’ve given yourself a dollar to stop whatever that was.

OKAY okay, it’s a little harsh…

How about you end the song then? Solo-dog, only performing tonight! I’ll cue you in.

“The time is right, your perfume fills my head, the stars get red, and, oh, the night's so blue… An-” oh shut it, this is my part! I told you, I’ll cue you in, man.

“And then I go and spoil it all by saying something stupid like-” NOW you gotta sing- “I love -”

A-WOOOOOOOOOO
