Tourist

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.

One, two, three….One two, three….

Please allow me

to introduce myself

My name is Spencer

but you can call me

what you wanna.

I live in a house

on a street in a town

with some people I know

and a bunny

named Rowboat

I got a shirt and some pants

and some shoes and a hat

and a mouth and a nose

cuz I'm cool like that

Now I guess you know

all there is to know about me…..

I'm new in this town

would ya' show me around?

I'm trying to find a place

where the good times get wasted

cuz I'm facing a boredom

that borders on horrible

Can we order some alcohol please?

Every now and then

I take a look around myself and think

God, I'm such a tourist

Other times

I take a look around myself

(at times like right now)

and I have to feel lucky

for the kindness of strangers

like you

I only bring it up because

you look like you might

wanna hand someone somethin'

I only brought it up

because you look like you might

wanna hand somebody somethin'

and it shouldn't be me

Please, allow me

to buy you another one.

A Long Island Ice Tea

for the pretty lady

a whiskey and water for me

I'm not very good at

playin' the piano

But nobody's here

and they've got a piano

And I'll play a song for you..

I got

one about a lonely guy

and one that's just a lullaby

But all my songs are all about

how much I hated

the women that I dated

before I came to this place

I'm new in this town

would ya' show me around?

I'm tryin' to find a place

where the good times get wasted

cuz I'm faced with a boredom

that borders on horrible

Can we order some alcohol please?

Every now and then

I take a look around myself and think

God, I'm such a tourist.

Other times I take a look around myself

and have to feel lucky

for the things I've been handed

cuz there've been a lot..

A lot of things I've been handed

I've dropped

a lot of the things

I only bring it up because

you look like you might wanna

hand somebody somethin'

I only bring it up because

you look like you might wanna

hand somebody somethin'

and it shouldn't be me……
