[MICHAEL][JON]
+
When I was nine
+
Michael and I
+
Entered a talent show down at the Y
+
9 A.M., went to rehearse by some stairs
+
Mike couldn't sing
+
But I said, "No one cares"
+
We sang "Yellow Bird" and "Let's Go Fly A Kite"
+
Over and over and over
+
'Til we got it right
+
When we emerged from the Y.M.C.A.
+
Three o'clock sun had made the grass hay
+
I thought
+
Hey, what a way to spend a day
+
Hey, what a way to spend a day
+
I make a vow
+
Right here and now
+
I'm gonna spend my time this way
+
When I was sixteen
+
Michael and I
+
Got parts in Wеst Side at White Plains High
+
Three o'clock, went to rеhearse in the gym
+
Mike played "Doc", who did not sing
+
Fine with him
+
We sang, "Got a rocket in your pocket"
+
And "The Jets are gonna have their day, tonight"
+
Over and over and over
+
'Til we got it right
+
When we emerged, wiped out by that play
+
Nine o'clock, stars and moon lit the way
+
I thought
+
Hey, what a way to spend a day
+
Hey, what a way to spend a day
+
I made a vow
+
I wonder now
+
Am I cut out to spend my time this way?
+
I'm twenty-nine
+
Michael and I
+
Live on the west side of SoHo, N.Y.
+
9 A.M., I write a lyric or two
+
Mike sings his song now on Mad Avenue
+
I sing, "Come to your senses
+
Defenses are not the way to go"
+
Over and over and over
+
And over, and over, and over, and over
+
'Til I get it right
+
When I emerge from B Minor or A
+
Five o'clock, diner calls, "I'm on my way"
+
I think
+
Hey, what a way to spend a day
+
Hey, what a way to spend a day
+
I make a vow
+
Right here and now
+
I'm gonna spend my time this way
+
I'm gonna spend my time this way
+
Is this real life?
+
Is this real life?
+
Is this real life?
+
Is this real life?
+
Is this real life?
+
Is this real life?
+
Is this real?
+
Is this real?
+
Is this real life?
