Ode To Whatshername (JZ, MH, NV) 4:42
Hello, hello. How ya been? How’s the wife and how’s the family business?
Has it really been ten long years? Time makes fools of us all, doesn’t it?
Late nights you and me writing songs about our poverty
I never knew times could be so good. I’m glad to be back in the old neighborhood
Doo doo doo etc.
Do you recall the girl I used to know? We sure did fool around, what a game
Wine and whiskey, nowhere to go, you and me and Whatshername
Late nights the drunken three laughing despite our poverty
I never knew times were so damn good. Why’d I ever leave the old neighborhood?
Doo doo doo etc.
I can only stop by for a couple of minutes but that’s how it goes these days
I’ve got money and a wife and kids on the way but I’ll never forget those days where the rent barely got paid
Late nights you and me writing songs about our poverty
I never knew times could be so good. I’m glad to be back in the old neighborhood
Doo doo doo etc.
Goodbye, goodbye I guess it’s back to life
But we’ve done fairly well and Whatshername is probably a rich man’s wife
The days will fly by as days often do, for me, Whatshername and you
Long nights lonely me dreaming of the girl that used to be
I never knew times were so damn good. Why’d I ever leave the old neighborhood?
Doo doo doo etc.
Late nights the drunken three laughing despite our poverty
I never knew times were so damn good. Why’d I ever leave the old neighborhood?
Doo doo doo etc.
