Lyrics

Because we are constantly reminded that Tony is just a little better than all of us...

----------------------------------

A Room of Our Own

You’ve got truffles and
I got sage
You got pills
And I’m a healthy age
You’ve got a trainer Tony,
I got beer.
You’ve got overpriced
And I got weird.

Well it’s alright
We’re not the same as you’ve already shown
It’s alright
Yes, we all have a room of our own.

You’re at Nordstrom’s buying who knows what.
I love shopping in the yards out front.
You love golfing at the nicest clubs
I go playing at the big Putt-Putt

Well it’s alright
We’re not the same as the old man has shown
It’s alright
Yes, we all have a room of our own.

You get all those tootsie rolls because you ask and then you say please…ooo
Such a joke
While I can’t get the waiter at the restaurant to cater to me…oh no…
No no no no no nooooooooooo

    You nailed this... I had to look it up cause I hadn't heard this song before... but you got the vibe down perfect. And thank you for introducing me to a song where the singer yells "bridge" to give the band direction during a studio version of the song. I love that kinda stuff. :D

    It is a DEEP karaoke track also. Not one of the better companies, not the best instrumentation but I have used it and it works well enough. True, you do not usually find stuff like this. There are freelancers out there who do create their own tracks with a program I bought that just takes out the voice, but it doesn't always work well. This is not one of those I don't think, but lesser quality than the norm.

    Haha. FINALLY all those years of learning his entire anthology is paying off. And Joe, I find it amazing that there actually IS a version of this song. I just check Karaoke Version first most of the time and rarely do they have the deep cuts of Joel and especially Ben Folds.

    When I saw this posted, I did a double take and thought, "How in the heck did someone find a performance track for Room of Our Own." Very nice, John!

    I just kept imagining Tony as my Christie Brinkley and it fell into place ?. These will never get to air, but they're fun to do
