You Gotta Pay The Band - Abbey Lincoln[00:00:00]
Written by:Abbey Lincoln[00:00:03]
Oh it really isn't easy[00:00:49]
Just to let the good times roll[00:00:53]
Everything is measured at a cost[00:00:56]
Everybody living[00:01:03]
Pays their share of dues[00:01:07]
And sometimes what you think you got[00:01:10]
You lost[00:01:13]
So ring a ding ding[00:01:16]
Do your thing[00:01:21]
But remember[00:01:24]
Darling[00:01:28]
When you give a dance[00:01:31]
You gotta pay the band[00:01:34]
The band that played your song[00:01:38]
The whole night through[00:01:40]
When you give a dance[00:01:45]
It's better if you try[00:01:48]
To pay the piper what the piper's due[00:01:51]
The moves were free and easy[00:01:58]
As we danced across the floor[00:02:01]
The spins and the exchanges[00:02:05]
Being what the music's for[00:02:08]
But when the party's over[00:02:11]
And the revelry is done[00:02:15]
You gotta pay the band[00:02:19]
That played your song[00:02:21]
When you give a dance[00:03:21]
You gotta pay the band[00:03:24]
The band that played your song[00:03:28]
The whole night through[00:03:30]
When you give a dance[00:03:34]
It's better if you try[00:03:37]
To pay the piper what the piper's due[00:03:41]
The music pop the magic[00:03:47]
And he found each other chance[00:03:51]
We dance to the morning[00:03:54]
And he new his other chance[00:03:57]
When the party's over[00:04:01]
And people all of gone[00:04:04]
You gotta pay the band[00:04:08]
Played your song[00:04:11]
You gotta pay the band[00:04:14]
That played your song[00:04:17]
Well you gotta[00:04:20]
Pay the band[00:04:25]
That played your song[00:04:28]
