20th Anniversary Rag
Just like Grandma Moses
Just like Auld Lang Syne
Play the change, however strange
And get it right this time!
It's been a hard haul
20 as the crow flies,
When your back's to the wall
Got to play it as it lies
Let there be music, dance and the beating of drum
Drop whatever you're doing and come on the run
Twenty years later the groove is just starting to click
It's all variations on some impossible lick
Come hear Uncle John's Band
Playing to the years
Come along or go alone
Like an avalanche or a rolling stone
Wave that flag!
Wave it while you can
Long as you keep coming
You got a band
Thanks for 20 years of being
an audience which is the envy
of every other rock and roll band alive,
F***'em if they can't take a joke!
Write if you get work.
Spare change?
Don't touch that plug!
