Amy Rigby - Calling Professor Longhair lyrics

He was playing on his old piano A little New Orleans, outside the snow was falling Two months to Mardi Gras, it's seventeen in Buffalo Professor Longhair, can't you hear me calling? I've been so sick and sad I miss my mom, I lost my dad My life's a soap opera, it's so apalling I wanna drive and drink, don't like the thoughts that I think Professor Longhair, can't you hear me calling? Maybe there's a place where I can go Somewhere to make it all make sense I'll find to feed the dogs And jump the fence Doing t'ai chi in the morning Doesn't seem to help me I wanna dance but I'm not fit for crawling I've been so lonely lately, even waitresses won't date me Professor Longhair, can't you hear me calling? I'm out of cigarettes Oh God, I love tobacco Can't get out of the car cause the engine's stalling Need s** and sympathy, the moonlight on the meadow Professor Longhair, can't you hear me calling?
