Living room the piano rolls
These are good times to talk about when we’re old
Life ain’t easy during Depression Days
It certainly ain’t easy with a family of eight
All week we’re fighting just fighting for life
We’re just living for these Saturday nights
Off in a corner Danny takes a rest
Everyone’s partner cause he’s the oldest
Everything’s gonna be alright
We got a piano to roll all night
Dance little sister and sing little brother
It’ll be alright tonight
Danny’s in the bedroom with his sick Dad
Mom’s downstairs suitcase in hand
Come dear Danny, this is too heavy
Just for a moment you can leave your Daddy
Please Danny boy, Momma’s getting too old
And him, the good boy, did what he was told
She gave him a kiss and said This is earned
She got on a train and never returned
He went back to Daddy to tell him what was done
But the father of the family is now the oldest son
Everything’s gonna be alright
We got a piano to roll all night
Dance little sister and sing littler brother
It’ll be alright tonight
They’ll take us, separate us, oh no!
There’s only thing that can save us, oh no!
Gotta treasure those nights and keep them in your heart
I’ll work all day and I’ll work all night but don’t forget those Saturdays
Or the reasons I’ll be gone and what can be bought’s never here for long
Never let me go
Everything’s gonna be alright
We got a piano to roll all night
Dance little sister and sing littler brother
It’ll be alright tonight
