A song for The Lounge...

[Steve]

Maybe I have too much time on my hands, but I re-wrote the words of Toby Keith's song "I Love This Bar" (minus the end verse, which oddly enough wasn't in the lyric set I acquired,) for the lounge. I think it's a fairly good description of how we feel when we log in.

We got winners, we got losers
Wine tasters and drunkards
And we got yankees, we got southern gents
We got some film noir junkies
And the girls all dress like Golden Era movie stars

Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, I love this lounge

We got wool, we got cashmere
Cloth bound and raw edges
And we got conservatives, we got liberals
Early birds and all-nighters
And the war buffs talk about their vintage gear…

Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm I love this lounge

[Chorus:]

I love this lounge
It's my kind of place
Just walking through the front door
Puts a big smile on my face
It isn’t far, come as you are
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm I love this lounge

I've seen long skirts along with high-tops
Then there’s working class and white collars
And we got lovers, lots of cynics

I've even seen burlesque girls and clinics
And we only drink when it’s properly aged.

Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm I love this lounge
O, Yes I do

We like our cars.
We like our fedoras
We stroll our ladies out for dinner
Dressed to the teeth with big grins.

But I love this lounge
It's my kind of place
Just talking on the deck
Puts a big smile on my face

No cover charge, come as you are
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm I love this lounge
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm I just love this old lounge

Now if we could get Toby Keith to record it for us.

you're on the right track...problem is....we've got a better group of people than what's on the song

Maybe but imagine how different the video would look. Cut to scenes of Rick's Cafe American. Rick raises a glass at the beginning. People are all well dressed, lounging and talking to each other over a special drink. Root and Matt are out swing dancing on the dance floor. I am behind the bar pouring drinks. :cheers1:
We've cleaned Toby up so he looks like he belongs. He's dressed in a 40's double breasted suit with his hair cut short and slicked back standing in front of the mic stand singing. Sam is playing the piano.
AndyKev comes out from the backroom and says he is shock, shocked that there is gambling going on in this establishment after which a waiter comes up and gives him his winnings.
I can see it all now.

Regards,

J

I forgot to mention---Rick is MK. He has his white dinner jacket on with black tie.
