Now, I'll ya a tale that'll bust yer heart
That a few people knew, ta start
It all took place our concert tour was booked at the SeaTac Hilton?
I'll guarantee word's the Gospel truth
Got witnesses ta it, too,
'Cause we all with a fella by the name a' Milton

Now Milton was o-fficial director,
Electrical piano-playin' plug
An' the slave-drivin'-est conductor
That we ever seen in our

"The world care whether ya look yer best!
"Simply show up promptly at six A.M. with your ...and your wives!"

A good minutes ahead a' flight time
A-lookin' like he'd drug through a needle's eye
He'd stand there, stoned and ta choke
On his Egg an' his giant Coke
An' then he'd all the tickets on the counter and say
"Check the bags and fly!"
"Well, whaddya mean, this is too much
"We only got pieces a' freight!
"And if it don't go, who's explain it to our fan club in Tacoma?"

all get embarassed an' head for the plane
While Milton there, bein' profane
But somehow he managed ta get on board ...in sort of a coma

When the were served up yonder...

Well, we at th' other end
All the trouble seemed to again
Milton had ordered three station wagons, a pickup truck and a limo
And though he'd ahead to that Number Two
an' fussin' an' turnin' blue
We'd always end up two Datsoons and a Pinto

Now Milton took all a' that stuff in
Laid on the floor, an' an' cried
But we always up to him for hope and salvation
But we'd sink to the bottom a' trav'lers
When he'd check us in a remote
And he'd grab the clerk by his an' tie an' say
"Whaddya mean, reservacines?"

Milton's bolder...

He'd shut himself in room
Let nobody in 'til he the floor
Adjusted the lampshade, aligned the TV, the faucet, called the promoter
"Well, whaddya mean we're the show?
"You're me on! We're stars, ya know!
"And this ain't the way we was treated last summer at Six Flags Dakota!
"Now we gotta have a percent top billing,
"Two-thirds in advance, a' course, you silly!
"I'm sure we a chauffered limosine and two air-conditioned dressing rooms, please.
"I'm Well, so's your wife! She's not? Well, to each his own.
"Beg pardon, it in my what? Well, really, Merle who?"

William Morris, us working...

Now, Milton was a real good a' mine
An' we'd stuck together on down that
But there was one or two points which we just had to dee-bate
Like
Is not an assurance that the crowd ain't gonna start throwin' tomatas
An' when ya at four for a five o'clock show
An' the ain't built an' there's no electricity
all ya could do is sit on yer butt an' cut bait
However, you give ol' four strong bodies, a nine-foot grand, a beer and a cigarette
An' you just knew show was gonna be ...outta state

Bringing in the
in the bread...

Now one night up in Washington
We get paid for a show we'd done
An' poor ol' Milton couldn't live that; his brain just shorted out.
Well, he locked himself in the
An' when he didn't come out for an hour an' a half
We that somethin' was wrong, but we had to remove all doubt
We stood transfixed in shock and
When we busted down that there bathroom
And I hope I see a sight like that again; no, I don't
was nothin' to do but close our eyes, an' bow our heads, an' vocalize
With a silent acapella hymn, for him

What a we had in Milton...

Now we're ready, come next December
To put another concert together
And I'm sad to say ol' Milton ain't a-gonna be us
No, it ain't gonna be the same
When they introduce us his name
So Milton, you are, we hope you miss us!
See, has moved on down the road
the rainbow, lookin' for gold
Yeah, he's up there the stage lights is always on
But we can't forget that hair
When we saw him a-settin' there
Holdin' his tambourine, suckin' his thumb, an' asleep on the john
