Would You Like to Play the Guitar? (Pat Donahue) CHORUS: Would you like to play the guitar? Carry money home in a jar From a coffeehouse or a bar Or would you rather get a job? A job is the thing that makes you get out of bed And work every day until youre dead. Your back is achin and your brain in numb And you just cant wait until the weekend comes But if you dont want to starve or big or rob Youre gonna have to get a job Or would you like to play the guitar Drive for miles and miles in your car And pretend that youre a big star Or would you rather book the gig? An agents the guy who takes his twenty percent What he says aint always what he meant. Hell clean you out in ways you never thought Because hes good at business and he knows youre not. And then hell sue if you ever make it big Cause hes the guy who booked the gig. Or would you like to play the guitar For a living--har-dee-har-har. Ill admit its kind of bizarre Or would you rather be the wife? The wife is the one who has to rescue our butts Shes either a saint or else shes nuts. She gets impatient and she gets annoyed Cause shes the one who must remain employed And, by the way, if you want to wreck your life Become a guitar players wife. Cause all the monkeys aint in the zoo. They can be trained to play guitar too. Some do a whole lot better than you But even if you dont go far You could be worse off than you are ...At least youre playing your guitar. (Tune: Swinging On A Star) FH apr00
