“One Last Toast- TO THE PISCES CLUB DC

A Fun, Upbeat Cabaret Storytelling Song About Peter Malatesta, the Photo & the World He Built and Left Behind

🎶 Oh, take a look, my dear, and what do you see?
A book, a drink, a party in D.C.!
But lean in closer, the story’s not done,
This was a toast, not just for fun! 🎶

🎶 There’s Peter Malatesta—he knew the game,
Once king of the night, once top of his name!
A man with a secret, a man with a plan,
Oh honey, he knew how to handle this town! 🎶

(Music kicks up—snappy, jazzy, audience leans in.)

⸻

[Verse 1 - Peter’s Rise, His World at Pisces]

🎶 Peter Malatesta, he played it right,
When Washington whispered, he ruled the night!
Worked for old Agnew, learned all the tricks,
When things fell apart, he found new politics! 🎶

🎶 He built a place where the stars all swayed,
Where senators drank and the lobbyists played,
Where deals were made with a wink and a spin,
And the ones with the power? Oh, honey, they win! 🎶

(Pause for effect—singer smirks, takes a sip.)

⸻

[Chorus - Big & Bold, Everyone Joins In!]

🎶 Ohhh—Pisces, Pisces, gone too soon!
Where the drinks poured late and they danced past noon,
Where the senators, spies, and Hollywood kings,
All gathered ‘round for a taste of the scene! 🎶

🎶 Ohhh—Pisces, Pisces, swim no more!
Where the whispers ruled behind closed doors,
But power don’t die, it just finds new ground,
And Peter? Oh… he stuck around! 🎶

(Brass kicks in, dance break—Pisces comes alive for a moment!) 🎷💃🏼✨

⸻

[Verse 2 - The Club is Gone, Peter’s Reinvention]

🎶 But honey, clubs don’t last, they rise and fall,
And Pisces, well—Washington outgrew it all…
The sharks swam out, the music went still,
And Washington found a new kind of thrill. 🎶

🎶 But Peter? He didn’t despair,
He had a new trick, a new affair…
A book, my dear, a tell-all so sly,
A party was planned—but was it goodbye? 🎶

(Music softens, the audience is intrigued—what’s in that book?) 📖

⸻

[Bridge - The Book Party, The Last Toast]

🎶 So here we are, in ‘83,
Pisces is gone, but look—you see?
A party, a launch, a toast to the past,
Peter Malatesta, still raising a glass! 🎶

🎶 Pam Howar, glowing, she’s seen it all,
Mrs. Ambrose, laughing—oh, what a ball!
They knew the game, they knew the man,
The way that power shifts like sand… 🎶

(Music builds, the final moment approaches…)

⸻

[Final Chorus - A Farewell to Peter]

🎶 Ohhh—Peter, Peter, tell us true!
Did you see the end, or just play it through?
One door closed, another swung wide,
And baby, you just let it slide! 🎶

🎶 Ohhh—Pisces, Pisces, lost to time…
But Peter still sparkled, still sipped the wine,
The game goes on, but he’s not here,
So raise a glass, my dear… my dear! 🎶

(Final hold on the note—then silence. One last clink of a glass. Curtain.)
