A Major Chord

Lyrics

[JIMMY, spoken] New York is a major chord. A major chord's when everything in your life works out perfectly. One is music, two is money, and three is love [JIMMY, sung] Lift up that note Lift up that blue note Let's play a major chord You sound so sad Don't play that sad note Let's play a major chord When you play a minor third It makes me wanna cry my eyes out I get caught up and depressed And I'm a mess until My memory dries out So be a pal Leave out that bad note Make it a gift to the Lord Hallelujiah He'll say When the band begins to play That major chord [TOMMY] It's too chromatic Don't get dramatic The chord I'm singing of [JIMMY] It's music, money, lovе! [TOMMY] Don't play a flat note [JIMMY] Don't lead with that note [JIMMY & TOMMY] Lay down a phat bеat Lift up those flat feat Let's play a major chord! While you wonder where to go You could be doing, not debating Take a chance, you never know If you are open to it Love may be waiting [FRANCINE, spoken] Okay, I'll play along! How do I get my major chord? [JIMMY, spoken] You got number one: music! [TOMMY, spoken] And when you got the music right, bam! The money follows! [JIMMY, spoken] That's number two! All that's left, number three: love... [TOMMY, spoken] The hardest of all [JIMMY, TOMMY & BOTH, sung] So, look at me No, look at me I strike the right note I strike the right note I'm chairman of the board The people shout "Hurray!" When I begin to play [JIMMY] That major [TOMMY] Not minor [JIMMY] Whoa! Augmented [TOMMY] Suspended [JIMMY] Diminished [TOMMY] We're finished! [JIMMY] Give me that [JIMMY & TOMMY] Major Major [TOMMY] Music [JIMMY] Money [TOMMY, spoken] Sex! [JIMMY & FRANCINE, spoken] Love! [JIMMY & TOMMY] Chord!
