robbie o’connell - the singer lyrics

[verse 1]
“well, h+llo there, how ya doing?”, that was all he said at first
then he moved a little closer, saying, “i think i’m dying of thirst”
but i asked him if he’d have a pint, but he just shook his head
and he grinned at me, said “i think, i’ll have a drop instead”
well he asked me where i came from as we had a little taste
i told him, “not too far from there”, though i now lived in the states
i said i was a singer, and i wasn’t home for long
did he know anyone who still might have a few old songs?

[chorus]
he said, “i’m not much for tеlling jokes, and i never lеarned to dance
but i could sing the night away if you give me half a chance
if i had some lubrication for the muscles in my throat
i’d sing out like a sparrow and i’d never miss a note”

[verse 2]
so i ordered up another round, thinking i just struck gold
and i asked him if he’d sing a song, maybe something kind of old
he said he had a million and a special one for me
he sang “tie a yellow ribbon round the ole oak tree”
so i smiled at him, said, “that was nice. do have any other songs?”
he suggested that another drop might help his memory on
he asked if i knew johnny cash or ever met tom jones
then he sang “forty shades of the green, green, green grass of home”
[chorus]
“oh, i’m not much for telling jokes, and i never learned to dance
but i could sing the night away if you give me half a chance
if i had some lubrication for the muscles in my throat
i’d sing out like a sparrow and i’d never miss a note”

[verse 3]
well i knew i was in trouble, but i didn’t want to quit
i thought it still might be worthwhile if i hung in for a bit
but the bar had filled with people who were calling out for more
when sang “one day at a time”, sweet jesus i had to go
but i still had to wait through one more willie nelson song
then i made a quick escape and said, “i had to ramble on”
if i wanted to hear old songs, well i knew just where to go
i’d hear them back in boston playing on the radio

[chorus]
“oh, i’m not much for telling jokes, and i never learned to dance
but i could sing the night away if you give me half a chance
if i had some lubrication for the muscles in my throat
i’d sing out like a sparrow and i’d never miss a note”

“oh, i’m not much for telling jokes, and i never learned to dance
but i could sing the night away if you give me half a chance
if i had some lubrication for the muscles in my throat
i’d sing out like a sparrow and i’d never miss a note”
