Donny Novitski

That's me to a T

He might have well have said

Hey Donny come and get your prize

I could write it in my sleep

But the trick is the delivery

And the difference that I have is, I was there

Made it through

Now my number one priority

Is to put a band together that did too

Every horn and clarinet

Will be a military vet

And be playing with authority

Donny Novitski: Accordion genius

Plays weddings at seven years old

Then the piano like fish take to water

By nine it's Fats Waller down cold

Then tunes of my own

Start to work themselves out

I'm a twelve year old Irving Berlin

All of that promise and none of the pay off

I'm still playing weddings and taking my day off

From bumming around drinking gin

They say cream rises

But what if nobody tastes it

If that cream rises and spoils

It's gonna 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!

They say cream rises

But what if nobody knew it

If that cream rises and rots

And 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

Then tailored suits, if I cut out pierogies

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 hell

Donny needs something to block out the memories

And break this insomnia spell

They say cream rises

But what if nobody 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
