She Played the Piano and He Beat the Drums Songtext
von Nancy Sinatra

Jenny couldn′t have any children
So she gave birth to the blues every night
John was always there to wipe away her tears
While she sang in the spotlight
They entertain nightly in piano bars
And at one time Jenny thought she could have been a star
But she couldn't leave her man for anything
′Cause without him she knew she couldn't sing


She played piano and he beat the drums
At holiday inns, for short two week long
They took all request and gave it their best
And she plays piano and he beats the drums
They travelled in a van with an old stray dog
And rehearsed their songs while they drove along
His old tuxido was shining in the light
While she swed up the pocket to make it looked alright
As the sang the course slowly of two for two
Those two song city lights came into be you
Tonight they really felt that they would knock on them
But when the show was over people only shook their heads

She plays piano and he beats the drums
At holiday inns, for short two week long
They took all request and gave it their best
While she plays piano and he beats the drums
Now all the town are smaller where they play their show
People ask for songs they don't even know
They′re down to in weekends for tips in any bar
Now Jenny sings more blues wishing she could be a star

She plays piano and he beats the drums
At holiday inns, for short two week long
They take all request and gave it their best
And she plays piano and he beats the drums

She played piano and he beat the drums
At holiday inns, for short two week long
They took all request and gave it their best
Ah, she playes piano and he beats the drums
