"Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn’t there
He wasn’t there again today
I wish, I wish he’d go away...

When I came home last night at three
The man was waiting there for me
But when I looked around the hall
I couldn’t see him there at all!
Go away, go away, don’t you come back any more!
Go away, go away, and please don’t slam the door... (slam!)

Last night I saw upon the stair
A little man who wasn’t there
He wasn’t there again today
Oh, how I wish he’d go away"

Antigonish, William Hughes Mearns

And hey barkeeper, what's keepin you? Keep pourin drinks
For all these palookas, hey you know what I thinks
that we toast to the old days and DiMaggio too,
and old Drysdale and mantle Whitey Ford and to you.

No the old gang ain't around, everyone has left town,
'cept for Thumm and Giardina said they just might be down.
Oh half drunk all the time and I'm all drunk the rest,
Yea monk's till the champion but I'm the best.

Tom Waits, Sight for Sore Eyes
