1
When I was just a kid way back in my hometown
2
There was a crazy little man who once came around
3
Syncopatin' Sandy was the stranger's name
4
Playing marathon piano, that was Sandy's game.
5
He played all day, he played all night
6
After 48 hours he was still alright
7
We fed him whiskey from a paper cup
8
And we wondered how long he could keep it up.
9
How long? how long?
10
How long? how long?
11
Well his eyes are rollin' and he can't even speak
12
The spirit's willing but the flesh is weak
13
How long? how long?
14
How long? how long?
15
People would come and the people would go
16
And the people all agreed it wasn't much of a show
17
They all Sandy must be weak in the head
18
And if he didn't stop soon he would drop down dead.
19
He played all day, he played all night
20
After 96 hours he was still alright
21
We fed him whiskey from a paper cup
22
And we wondered how long he could keep it up.
23
How long? how long?
24
How long? how long?
25
Well his eyes are rollin' and he can't even speak
26
The spirit's willing but the flesh is weak
27
How long? how long?
28
How long? how long?

How long? how long?
