Lyrics Loudon Wainwright III

Loudon Wainwright III

The Grammy Song

Last night I dreamed that I won a Grammy

It was presented to me by Debbie Harry

I ran up on stage in my tux

I gulped and said, "Aw, shucks"

I'd like to thank my producer and Jesus Christ

The audience gave me a standing ovation

I shed tears of joy, I shed tears of elation

Behind the podium there Debbie grabbed my derrière

I like to thank my producer and Jesus Christ

I took my Grammy and Debby and walked offstage

We made the cover of Cashbox and the Random Notes page

In the weeks that followed things went fine for me:

An Oscar, a Tony, and an Emmy

Bo Derek and Barbara Mandrell

A Pulitzer and a Nobel

Meryl Streep and Tammy Terell

Five gold and one bronze as well

Joan Rivers and Lana Cantrell

I'd like to thank my producer and Jesus Christ
