Before The Music Ends [Finale[00:00:00]
I reached the age of forty somewhat sooner than expected [00:00:14]
Living at a fairly hectic pace [00:00:20]
When I count the years that I have happily collected [00:00:26]
The future shows its apprehensive face [00:00:31]
(But now Francis what the hell do you do now Francis )[00:00:39]
Quite a different song must be sung[00:00:51]
When the singer is no longer young [00:00:56]
Before the music ends before it fades away [00:01:14]
There are several very necessary things I must do [00:01:23]
Friends I must be again certain places where I must be again [00:01:34]
Before the music ends I must go to Hoboken one more time [00:01:47]
(pause)[00:02:08]
I wanna run down that street where that thin Italian kid ran [00:02:14]
Then slow down at the school [00:02:23]
Where those nice old ladies tried to teach me [00:02:28]
Unaware that I knew much more than they did [00:02:35]
And stop at the poolroom for a beer [00:02:43]
And sadly say to myself I don't know anybody here [00:02:51]
(Francis don't go home again )[00:03:03]
One thing I'd like to do before the music ends [00:03:13]
Is to thank some wonderful life-long friends [00:03:23]
I've never met but have known so well [00:03:29]
From one Frank to another thank you for your dream [00:03:42]
Your dream is now my own [00:03:57]
And thank you Ludwig Van[00:04:03]
For the flight of fancy you sent me on [00:04:09]
Thank Mrs Verdi for Joe and a special thanks to Jackelo (Jackelo Jackelo) [00:04:16]
All of you took turns in delivering sunrise a little sooner to my window [00:04:40]
Before the music ends with company by Dino and Clark [00:05:19]
I'd like to make one more charge at Baker's [00:05:30]
You won't find me at that idiot wheel that spins and spins and spins [00:05:43]
I won't play the slot machine the management always wins [00:05:48]
Not for me the game where the jack is called black [00:05:52]
And meet them dikes that stand back [00:05:56]
(And you're actually down the line and a hundred on the drum)[00:05:59]
(Is enough to make you shy load the truck with speaker's drum)[00:06:06]
You won't hear me talk about saving new shoes baby's got 57 pairs [00:06:15]
All I ask is Time just plain and simple Time[00:06:23]
(just a little tiny boo just a little business free)[00:06:27]
(time time time time time time time time time time) Time [00:06:31]
(pause)[00:06:40]
In years to come I may forget if I lost or if I won [00:06:50]
But I'll always remember how much fun it was [00:07:07]
(just concentrate on five and four just stick to six and three) [00:07:28]
(pause)[00:07:41]
And when the music ends I'd like it to end this way [00:08:00]
I'll ask Chester to write me one more song [00:08:16]
I'll get Lesty to make me one more chart [00:08:22]
And I'll make one more record with the best musicians in the world [00:08:28]
(Fanfare)[00:08:48]
And when that cat with the sight comes tugging at my sleeve [00:09:13]
I'll be singing (Sandra Sandra Sandra) as I leave (Sandra)[00:09:26]
