1
I know an oldtimer
2
Just a nickel-and-dimer(1)
3
At the bar down the Adios Lounge
4
And for whiskey and smokes
5
Recites poems and jokes
6
But he's not just your average clown
7
And he's entertaining nightly
8
Down the Adios Lounge
9
And he puts it politely
10
But he does lay it down
11
Now I lie here alone in my bed
12
With these words running wild in my head
13
He said...
14
Don't let nobody go there for you
15
Don't be satisfied with a second-hand life
16
Don't let nobody stifle or bore you
17
Handle your troubles or take on your strife
18
Don't let nobody live your life for you
19
Not your friends, not your kids, no not even your wife
20
If you want to know where the rainbow ends
21
It's you who´ve got to go there and find it my friend
22
So I'm going back down
23
To the Adios Lounge
24
Where there's no one to wait up for me
25
I hope he's still around
26
Oh, that crazy old scrounge
27
To tell us how things ought to be
28
He said...
29
Don't let nobody go there for you
30
Don't be satisfied with a second-hand life
31
Don't let nobody stifle or bore you
32
Handle your troubles or take on your strife
33
Don't let nobody live your life for you
34
Not your friends, not your kids, no not even your wife
35
If you want to know where the rainbow ends
36
It's you who've got to go there and find it my friend
37
So I buy him more drinks
38
Just to hear what he thinks
39
Oh, it's worth it to see him almost smile
40
It's worth feeling free for a while
41
At the bar down the Adios Lounge
42
At the bar down the Adios Lounge
43
At the bar down the Adios Lounge
