[Verse 1] "Good evening Ladies and gentlemen Welcome to the show It is my pleasure to introduce you To the hottest new star on the scene All the way from up the street On the corner Mr. Skiffington blows his horn" [Verse 2] He put it all on black But it was a red night He's playin' long nights just to pay his rent He rolls his eyes when you ask for a setlist Don't know the next note Let alone what the next is He said he tried to give it up But he's back again In his '62 coupe Feelin' like the best of friends 'Cause that brass It always brings him back to life And that bell is the best And that belt is the best [Chorus] Mr. Skiffington blows his horn Mr. Skiffington blows his horn Mr. Skiffington blows his horn Mr. Skiffington blows his horn [Bridge] [scatting] All right [Verse 3] He's not much to look at But don't let it fool ya He knows all the right notes that make you sing hallelujah But don't you let him make you a believer 'Cause the truth is He needs you more than you need him [Chorus] Mr. Skiffington blows his horn Mr. Skiffington blows his horn Mr. Skiffington blows his horn Mr. Skiffington blows his horn
