Текст Joe Jackson – The Band Wore Blue Shirts

I don’t know why they come here
I’m only glad they do
They’re gonna pay the bills for me and you
People out for an evening

I guess someday my kids will ask me ’bout the old days
I guess that I’ll tell them there ain’t much to tell
The waiters wore black dinner jackets and all that kind of thing
And the band wore blue shirts
And the music played on

Then at the end of the evening
They throw the suckers out
Don’t get me wrong, I got no beef about it
I get my rates from the union
I get my shirts real cheap
I get my money
Get home
Get some sleep
