Brian Myers You’re No Cherry Garcia

Lyrics

The first scale I've ever learned was from Brian Myers He lived in Summer Gardens in Stoughton It was the first scale he ever showed me It's the first scale I ever learned He said, "do you know what plagiary is?" I said, "no, it sounds like a very big word." He said, "and do you know what plagiary is?" I said, "no." He said, "you sound like the Grateful Dead." But he looked like Jerry Garcia Just like Jerry Garcia Well before there was Cherry Garcia This must've been 1970-something When he showed me this scale I was a little lad I was skinny and pale In the suburbs, 20 minutes from Boston, Massachusetts Mm-mm WBCN and WAAF and HJY Oh, why oh why did you break my little heart that way Brian Myers Oh, why did you build me with shame, ooh Brian Myers One day I was looking through some photographs And I found a picture of my band And we were playing in my back yard Guess who was there? Brian Myers with his hand on his chin He was judging me He was judging me and waiting for the scale to begin, oh Brian Myers with his hand on his chin Why did you make me feel so lame? Here goes the scale My friend Theo can sing and play But I can't do it that way Let me try again Here goes the scale Something like that Brian Myers I don't know the name of that scale Maybe Jerry Garcia invented it But everything invented is for sale, oh Brian Myers, look at you Cherry Garcia Sara Lee coconut cake Pepperidge Farm Remembers
