I go in for singin', I do it for my pay
The kinda gig I can really dig is swiggin' at the break of day
With a few good friends and neighbours into playin' the nighttime tunes
So pass the jar and that old guitar in this hangdog hotel room

(Oh, Lord, it feels so good to play a nighttime tune)
(So pass the jar and that old guitar in this hangdog hotel room)

I believe in magic, a little monkeyshines
The kind of row I can really hoe is playin' in tune on time
With rhythms all around us we're like weavers at the loom
(So pass the jar and that old guitar in this hangdog hotel room)

(Oh, Lord, it feels so good to play a nighttime tune)
(So pass the jar and that old guitar in this hangdog hotel room)

When it comes to mornin' we're goin' out at night
The kind of test that I like the best is rubbin' the wrong girl right
And a few good friends and neighbors into playin' the nighttime tunes
(So pass the jar and that old guitar in this hangdog hotel room)

(Oh, Lord, it feels so good to play a nighttime tune)
(So pass the jar and that old guitar in this hangdog hotel room)
(With rhythms all around us we're like weavers at the loom)
(So pass the jar and that old guitar in this hangdog hotel room)
