Lyrics

Digging deep into the Billy Joel back catalogue with some help from the master of Billy Joel piano ballads, John Neiswinger!

Of all the people in the world that I know
You're the last place I’d go
for advice, for advice
See I recall not long ago on the radio
Your crazy theory how monkeys grow
What a shocking lack of insight

Bone china’s bone
We're learning something every single day
How they measure snow
It’s gathering on a little white plate
You seem to think that all your food is interesting
and like a fool, I’m still listening
Tell me why Tony why
Tell me why Tony why
Oh, tell me why Tony why

A parody of Billy Joel, "Why Judy Why"

    Yes, it's probably obvious by now but I have the lyrics of every Billy Joel song memorized. That's why it's so easy to parody - almost any idea overlaps w/ some existing lyric or theme

    That second verse in particular is really funny. Love the food part. And I think you guys actually do know every Billy Joel song ever.
