TRIBUTE BAND
(Mitch Friedman)

What goes around comes around . . .

Back in '76 I had a hit
I went on the tv and sang it a bit
Just as fast, I fell out of favor
In a drunken rage allegedly I shot my neighbor

I faked my own death, and grew a goatee
Then I flew the coop using the alias "Guy"
I settled in Belgium, and turned a new page
'til some karaoke got me back on the stage

I did my old hit kind of rusty and some folks came up for a word
They said
"We are a group that covers his stuff
and you're the closest to the real thing we've ever heard!"

Now I'm in a tribute band to myself, singing as me being somebody else
In a tribute band to myself

My back catalogue was becoming a slog
so I wrote us some new stuff in the style of prog
I gotta be careful not to blow my own cover
That's why I changed our band name to an anagram of my Swedish lover

A year passed by, then my luck ran out
The authorities nabbed me right in the middle of "Shout!"
The press had a field day, my sentence was long
There's no singing in Sing Sing and that's including this song

"Behind The Music" glossed right over my discography
It's okay, now I'm making multi millions with an autobiography

Thanks to being in a tribute band to myself, singing as me being somebody else
In a tribute band to myself

What goes around comes around . . .
