Steve Forbert's Midsummer Night's Toast

Here's to all you, all you lucky dogs, it's heads or tails

Here's to all you filthy rich, I wish you well

Here's to all the pretty women made for cash

And here's to dashing daddy's son, he's such a flashWell, I been lookin' and walkin' 'round the sunset square

Singin' an' talkin' with my friends down there

Sittin' an' listenin' with a young man's ear

To all the rainbow dreamsHere's to all the shitty jobs that I despise

Here's to two-bit guarantees and other lies

Here's to roads of burning tar and hot cement

And here's to money in my hand and where it wentI, I got my fingers a-tapping on the hard stone steps

I'm waiting for lightning and the rains to fall

Young lovers eloping with their sidewalk smiles

And all their rainbow dreamsAmy Alice in the summer

With a sack lunch and a punch card

See my sister with a drag job

Oh man, she feels like, she's a hundred years agoWell, here's to people living lives that they regret

Work your fingers to the bone and sink in debt

Here's to all those shaky tricks what hustlers try

You know their easy money is oft' times hard

You know they flash a grin an' they wink their eyeI, I been livin' an' breathin' in the rat trap town

Tryna get over where the wall breaks down

Holdin' my head up with my thin tired arms

And all my rainbow dreams, yeah

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
