MASTER & PADDY Another damned song by: Kenyon & B.Joel -------------------------- Master and Paddy were the Popular steadies And the king and the queen Of the prom Riding around with the car top Down and the radio on Nobody looked any finer Or was more of a hit at the Parkway Diner We never knew we could want more Than that out of life Surely Master & Paddy would Always know how to survive. Master & Paddy were still going Steady in the summer of '75 when they decided the marriage would Be at the end of July Everyone said they were Krazy "Master you know you're much too lazy Paddy could never afford to live that Kind of life." But there we were wavin' Master and Paddy goodbye. They got an apartment with deep Pile carpet And a couple of paintings from Sears A big waterbed that they bought With the bread They had saved for a couple Of years They started to fight when the Money got tight And they just didn't count on The tears. They lived for a while in a Very nice style But it's always the same in the end They got a divorce as a matter Of course And they parted the closest Of friends Then the king and the queen went Back to the green But you can never go back There again. Master and Paddy had had it Already by the summer of '75 From the high to the low to The end of the show For the rest of their lives They couldn't go back to The greasers The best they could do was Pick up the pieces We always knew they would both Find a way to get by That's all I heard about Master and Paddy Can't tell you more than I Told you already And here we are wavin' Master And Paddy goodbye. (For the original song, check out the album "The Stranger" or "Billy Joel's Greatest Hits" and listen to "Scenes From An Italian Restaurant, third part of the orchestration that lasts seven minutes.) |
