bandstand original cast - donny novitski lyrics

Loading...

that’s me, to a t
she might as well have said
“hey, donny come and get your prize!”
i can write it in my sleep, but the trick is the delivery
but the difference is, i was there
made it through
and now my number one priority
is to put a band together
that did too
every h#rn and clarinet will be a military vet
and will be playing with authority

donny novitski
accordion g#nius
plays weddings at seven years old
then the piano
like fish take to water
by nine spats watered#down coke

tunes of my own start to work themselves out
i’m a 12 year old irving berlin
all of that promise and none of the payoff
i’m still playing weddings
and taking my days off from sitting
around drinking gin

they say
“cream rises,”
but what if n0body tastes it
if that cream rises
then spoils, it’s going to be wasted

but donny novitski
could be frank sinatra
if someone would give him a break
in fact i’d be better
cause i play piano
and he can’t read music
the fake!

donny novitski
spent four years in battle
i carry the scars when i croon
frankie sinatra skipped out on the army
and half the time sings out of tune
he’s so flat! ugh

they say
“cream rises,”
but what if n0body knew it
if that cream rises
and rots, then somebody blew it

donny novitski
is finally looking at
one little crack in the door
get it to open, and right there behind it
is everything i’m working for
picture, donny novitski
the polish#italian crooning his tunes
smoking his stogies
genuine vet of an army battalion
fine tailored suits
if i cut out perogies

bobby soxers swoon at my charms
backed up by my brothers in arms

donny novitski knows this is a lifeline
a once in a millennium shot
and i’m gonna take it
take aim at my target
and hit it with all that i got
donny novitski has strong ammunition
plenty of talent and burning ambition
who’s songs are authentic as well
from living through four years of h#ll
donny needs something to block out the memories
and break this insomnia spell

[chorus]
they say cream rises
but what if n0body tastes it
if that cream rises and spoils
it’s gonna be wasted

so make it all worth it and give it all meaning
going from cleveland to hollywood screaming
donny novitski is gonna win first prize
donny novitski is ready to rise
