歌詞

Marty Perellis: Okay, hold your applause for one second. Alright, we can come up and do another encore provided everybody provides with the liquor laws, so, pass any glasses that are on the table to the end of the aisle and Mario'll let us do another encore, so just, anybody with a glass: Don't give the waitress a hard time, just pass the glasses to the end of the aisle so the bus boys and waitresses can get it, and don't say it's the last sip.
