Velvet in the Rain (comedy song)

[Instrumental Intro] (Sloppy piano glissando, finger snaps, murmured "Yeah...") [Verse 1] I saw you standin' there... standin' over... somewhere near the... bar And I thought... (chuckles) I thought a lot of things actually Your hair was like... well it was like hair... beautiful hair And I said to myself... (clears throat, off-mic whisper) self... go talk to her [Chorus] She's got that look... that look... that-look-that-look... (Saxophone swells) The one that makes a grown man... (laughs) well, makes him feel like... Something... real... Like velvet in the rain... no wait, that's not... like honey on a... (off-mic) what's the word... wheel Yeah honey on a wheel [Verse 2] I bought a drink for you... two drinks for me And somewhere 'round the third... lost count you see The room got... warm? Or maybe that's your glow Or maybe that's the gin... (slurs) which I don't usually... no I definitely do [Pre-Chorus] So tell me baby... don't tell me no... (off-mic whisper to band) key change... wait wait wait... Just tell me somewhere... we can... comfortably... sit... down [Chorus] She's got that look... that look... no wait that's already... The way you... when you... with your hand like... (Finger snaps, misses pocket, fumbles) I think I love you... I think I'm sure I feel I might (Band continues professionally through his chaos) [Bridge] (Spoken, leaning on piano) Y'know... Sinatra used to say... well I don't know what he used to say I wasn't there... were you there? (laughs at own joke) But if I had a nickel... for every nickel I ever had... I'd have... well a lot of nickels... (Murmured) where was I going with this [Saxophone Solo] (The sax player absolutely nails it for 16 bars) (Singer: "Yeah... blow that thing... blow it good...") [Final Chorus - slower, almost reverent] She's got that... everything... that all the everything And I am nothing... less than everything you need (awkward held note, cracks slightly, recovers) Love... is just a word... this is a sentence And I'm servin'... life... (chuckles) get it? Servin' life? (off-mic) that was good, that was actually good [Outro] Thank you folks... you've been... you've been here Goodnight... (finger snaps trailing off) yeah... good... night
