Bathtub Gin Lyrics


Brett is in the bathtub
Makin' soup for the ambassadors
And I am in the hallway
Singing to the TroubadoursThe kings are all lined up
Outside the gate
And the autumn bells are ringin'
But they'll just have to waitWhere is the joker?
Have you seen him around
With his three coned cap
That he wears like a crown?Have you seen his stripped stockings?
And heard his sad tale
About the kids under the carpet
And the purple humpbacked whaleHere come the ambassadors
They show up one by one
Brett is tasting all the soup
To see if it is doneAnd Wendy's on the windowsill
Waitin' to be let in
And we're all in the bathtub now

Making bathtub ginBut the kings storm the hallway
They've climbed up through the gate
They didn't mean to be impolite
But they just couldn't waitHere comes the joker
With his silly grin
He carries a Martini
Made of bathtub ginHere comes the joker
We all must laugh
'Cause we're all in this together
And we love to take a bathGin
Gin
Gin
...

Phish is an American rock band most noted for its extended improvisations, elongated song compositions and the varied genres represented in their song repertoire. The band was formed in 1983 in Burlington, Vermont, United States where they all attended college. The band's lineup consists of Trey Anastasio (guitar, vocals), Page McConnell (keyboards, vocals), Mike Gordon (bass, vocals) and Jon Fishman (drums, vocals, vacuum cleaner). The band went on hiatus in 2000, but returned in 2002 only to split for what seemed for good in 2004. However, on September 30, 2008, the band announced, via their website, that they would reunite for three shows on March 6th, 7th and 8th, 2009 at the Hampton Colosseum. Later the band announced a summer tour for June of 2009 beginning with a night at Fenway Park and later added more dates in late July and August, featuring 4 nights at Red Rocks to begin the tour. The band has continued to be active since with continued touring and a new album.

Although the group received little radio play or MTV exposure, Phish developed a large following by word of mouth. Phish's music has elements of many genres including jazz, bluegrass, country, heavy metal, reggae, folk, rock, ska, pop, blues, progressive rock, show tunes, classical, acoustic, barber shop quartet and calypso.

While often compared to the Grateful Dead, Phish finds their roots in jazz and alternative rock as opposed to the Dead who were more influenced by folk, country and blues.

Each Phish concert is different in terms of the songs included and the order in which they appeared, and (for many songs) in the way in which they were performed. Also unique to Phish are their large summer festivals which draw upwards of 70K people to remote areas in Maine and New York State as well as close to 100K for their epic Millennium Show in the Everglades of South Florida.

Along with Bob Dylan and The Beatles, Phish were one of the first bands to have an Internet newsgroup - rec.music.phish - launched in 1991.

In regards to Phish, Rolling Stone magazine proclaimed "Given their sense of community, their ambition and their challenging, generous performances, Phish have become the most important band of the Nineties."
