He was playing on his old piano
A little New Orleans, outside the snow was falling
Two months to Mardi Gras, it's seventeen in Buffalo
Professor Longhair, can't you hear me calling?
I've been so sick and sad
I miss my mom, I lost my dad
My life's a soap opera, it's so apalling
I wanna drive and drink, don't like the thoughts that I think
Professor Longhair, can't you hear me calling?
Maybe there's a place where I can go
Somewhere to make it all make sense
I'll find to feed the dogs
And jump the fence
Doing t'ai chi in the morning
Doesn't seem to help me
I wanna dance but I'm not fit for crawling
I've been so lonely lately, even waitresses won't date me
Professor Longhair, can't you hear me calling?
I'm out of cigarettes
Oh God, I love tobacco
Can't get out of the car cause the engine's stalling
Need sex and sympathy, the moonlight on the meadow
Professor Longhair, can't you hear me calling?
