Audioblog — “Listening to Lodi”

Went out tonight to a posh Mexican restaurant near Lincoln Center (not on my dime, oh no, lol lol).

Wrote a tune on the subway ride home.

Been promising NL and kj I’d do an audioblog so here it is.  The link will take you to gabcast (at least I hope it will!), so hit “play” on episode number 8.

Gabcast! Auld Manhattoe #8

lyrics are below.

Listening to Lodi

by Nightprowlkitty

Everybody’s out on the street tonight

Listening to Lodi

Everybody’s tapping their feet tonight

Listening to Lodi

‘Cause when Lodi sings

Everybody swings

yah yah yah

Everybody’s out on the street tonight

Listening to Lodi

Restaurant tables on the sidewalks

on an August night

New  York summer evening shining

Underneath the bright moonlight

Everybody’s out on the street tonight

Listening to Lodi

Everybody’s tapping their feet tonight

Listening to Lodi

‘Cause when Lodi sings

Everybody swings

yah yah yah

Everybody’s out on the street tonight

Listening to Lodi

All your cares and troubles vanish

On this summer night

When your swinging to her singing

Everything will turn out right

for …

Everybody’s out on the street tonight

Listening to Lodi

Everybody’s tapping their feet tonight

Listening to Lodi

‘Cause when Lodi sings

Everybody swings

yah yah yah

Everybody’s out on the street tonight

Listening to Lodi

    What fun!!!! And since I’m taking tomorrow off, tonight’s my TGIF. So a little foot-tapping is definitely in order.

    …stuck in old Lodi again.

    If I only had a dollar, for every song I’ve sung.

    And every time I’ve had to play while people sat there drunk.

    You know I’d catch the next train back to where I live.

    Oh, Lord! I’m stuck in ole Lodi again.

    🙂
