lyrics

©1999 Jeff Bohnhoff

Sitting on a bar stool, ambition fading fast.
So you grab a bunch of pretzels and try to make them last.
Hiding out from Vera, your ever-patient wife.
Sometimes a warm stool at the bar is better than a life.

Are you hangin' out at Cheers?
Wastin' a lot of time.
Are you soakin' up the beers?
Did you just drink one of mine?

You've been telling us you're a genius since you've been coming here.
A civil servant savant who loves his mom and beer.
Someday you'll find a woman who will treat you like a man.
She'll get the arcane knowledge we don't understand.

Are you hangin' out at Cheers?
Wastin' a lot of time.
Are you soakin' up the beers?
Did you just drink one of mine?

Well we've watched a lot of TV and we've spent a lot of time.
That trip we made to Hollywood is etched upon my mind.
I recall that night on Jeopardy when you went down in flames.
Claven king of trivia - now everybody knows your name.

Are you hangin' out at Cheers?
Wastin' a lot of time.
Are you soakin' up the beers?
Did you just drink one of mine?

Jeff and Maya have an identity crisis. Their music is sometimes uproariously funny parody (like their spot-on "Bohemian Rhapsody" parody "Midichlorian Rhapsody", or hauntingly beautiful, like "Road to Jerusalem" or "Manhattan Sleeps". One way or another, their music will create strong emotions. Jeff and Maya have been creating music together since 1979, and plan to continue for some time to come. ... more
