Tenement Song
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The drum sticks were his treasure trove
Found in the ashes of the coconut grove
Hey man, can you give me something
Hey man, did you give me something
Hey man, nothing comes from nothing
Hey man, something came from somewhere
Hey man, it's a tenement song
Just there on the tip of your tongue
Let's play on a tenement song
On and on and on
Tenement song
Tenement song
Tall model and one more smoke
Tenement song
She lived through the fire but the kennel got broke
Tenement song
Hey man, can you give me something
Hey man, did you give me something
Hey man, it's a tenement song
Just there on the tip of your tongue
Let's play on a tenement song
On and on and on
Hey man, it's a tenement song
Just there on the tip of your tongue
Let's play on a tenement song
On and on and on
On and on and on
