Lyrics

For the newly emerging Downtown Mr. Tony....

"Some Kind Of Wonderful"

TK makes a whole lots of money
Always rides in a big, fine car
He’s got everything an old man could want
Still there’s more that he will ask for
He’s starting to run around
Dining out now night after night
'Cause he’s got me a sweet... a sweet, downtown crash pad
Hope the staff learns how to treat him right

Well there’s Tony, the flash bulbs light
Yeah that’s Tony, he’s gone to get a bite
Don't you know that he's... moving to the Mayflower
Groovin' on his star power... yes he is
Moving to the Mayflower, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeahhh...

As he gets up in his years
You know he gets ever more like the squire
Oooh, when chefs cook just for him
The check totals climb even higher
When he does the radio from that spot downtown
Thoughts of leisure flood his mind
Yeah, maybe even walk to work
And just one flight up to PTI

Like Felix, he’s uptight
He’s tidy, wants clean sheets every night
Don't you know that he is... moving to the Mayflower
Sure to make the staff glower... yes he is
God help them at the Mayflower, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeahhh...

A parody of "Some Kind of Wonderful" in the style of Grand Funk Railroad
