Water under bridge, did ya see my new car?

	And old Drysdale and Mantle Whitey Ford and to you

F, C, Am, Dm7, G7


No, the old gang ain't around, everyone has left town
'cept for Thumm and Giardina, said they just might be down
Oh, half drunk all the time, and I'm all drunk the rest
Yeah, Monk's still the champion, oh, but I am the best

I guess you heard about Nash, he was killed in a crash
That must've been two otr three years ago now
Yeah, he spun out and he rolled, he hit a telephone pole
And he died with the radio on

G7	                   C			    F		      C

	He's up North for a nickel's worth for armed robbery
		    C				             F	            C
	Hell, I'll play you some pinbal, no, you ain't got a chance
			        Am        Dm7	     G
	Well, then go on over and ask her to dance
	Am7 G7/B
	And hey.....
