Was going through an old collection of music when I stumbled across this. Thought you older heads might get a kick out of it. It's called Still On Dead Tour and it's sung to the tune of Willin' by Little Feat (G, D, Em, C). Words by Andy Powers and Friends:
Well I ate your granola,
Scoffed at your steak,
Made some new tie-dyes and got in on a fake
And I'm still...Still on dead tour.
I've seen Jerry in black,
I've seen Jerry in red,
I took acid at red rocks and put a bandana on my head
And I'm still....Still on Dead tour
Refrain 1:
And I've been from Evergreen to Bennington College
I've been to Reid and Hampshire too,
I've been to every Dead show that's ever been played,
And I went to Crosby, Still, and Nash
So I could get Lay-ayed...
But if you give me-e-e
Beads, patchouli and crabs,
And you can pick up my ta-abs,
I'll be willin...to sit on your couch and do another bong hit!
Well, I've been out in this parking lot
All day and all night,
I was kicked out of the Hyatt without even a fight
But I'm still....still seeing show in the Bay area.
I was dancin' at the Greek,
Way up in the back,
They went into Dark Star and I had a heart attack
But I'm still....livin' on Telegraph.
Refrain 2: (for Berkeley experienced )Heads
And I've been from Blondie's to Bongo Burger,
I've been to Kim's Burritos too.
I've walked up and down the Ave 'til it started getting dark
I gave my spare change away up at People's Park
But if you give me-e-e
A card number, Amazake, and a fat slice,
And you can pay the right price,
I'll be willin.....to meet you on Dwight.
Busted at Nassau
Shut out at the Garden
On the East coast, I'm startin' to harden
but I'm still.....Still on Dead tour.
From Hampton to Portland
I've sold bagels to pages
For five hundred shows I've made my own wages,
and I'm still....Still on Dead tour.
