[Verse 1] I attended Ty Cobb's funeral And managed to find a seat Then I went out dancing with my Miss Garbo Tried my best to not step on her feet And the staircase is a mountain And the window is a cliff In the morning the weather found them Both my hands were cold and stiff Till I put 'em together [Chorus] I know that's right Put my hands together Don't know how, I've got the nearest pair And I hold on tight [Verse 2] I had breakfast with a cigarette Must have eaten before He kept squirming from my fingers Insisted on rolling on the floor Dinner with a cup of coffee That likes to be called a mug Today he was more comfortable on the rug [Chorus] Put your hands together I know it's right Put your hands together Don't know how then grab the nearest one And hold on tight [Verse 3] The TV is furious at me For not watching it at all today
The newspaper gets older every minute We have so much in common he's gonna stay The staircase is a window Here we go And the evening crept out backwards Makes his usual excuse As the night loves to fall apart When it's only you Give my regards to midnight Tell him he ain't changed a bit Long, tall, dark and handsome Still lonely as sh** And the music on my radio It's not welcome in my room And the pillows are exhausted To hold my head again so soon The dreams I had before Are now too bored to even show up And the blankets are embarra**ed It's only me that they cover up Put your hands together It's what I need tonight [Chorus] Put your hands together Don't know how, grab the nearest one And hold on with all your might Hands together Put your hands together Don't know how, grab the nearest one And hold on tight
