My Gig Announcement, as Performed by the 80s Adult/Contemporary Sensation TOTOI hear Jon Arkin's drums echoing tonightBut you hear only whispers of some drunken bike messengers' conversationsYou're coming in twelve-thirty flightSo you have time to catch the BART that guides you towards libationsI stopped an old man along the BayHoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient jazz melodiesHe turned to me as if to say: "Hurry boy, beer's waiting there for you"[Chorus:]It's gonna take a lot to drag me out to hear youThere's nothing that a hundred e-mails or more could ever doI bless the drains down on New Montgomery St.Gonna take some time to count the tips we never hadThe wild Evan Francis cries out in the nightAs he grows restless longing for some solitary saxophonyI know that he must do what's rightSure as the House of Shields rises like Olympus above the San Fran-ciskiI seek to cure what's deep inside, frightened of this trumpet player I've become[Repeat Chorus]All you wanna do when you wake up in the morning is see my gigAdam Shulman, Adam ShulmanI never thought that a pianist like you could ever play for me, Adam ShulmanAll I wanna do in the middle of the evening is trip over your bassFred Randolph, Fred RandolphI didn't know you were looking for more tips than I could ever giveNot quite a year since it went away, the Ian Carey QuintetNow they're gone and I have to say….
