Lyrics Mr. Tanner

Mister tanner was a cleaner from a town in the Midwest
And of all the cleanin' shops around he'd made his the best
He also was a baritone who sang while hangin' clothes
He practiced scales while pressin' tails and sang at local shows
His friends and neighbors praised the voice that poured out from his throat
They said that he should use his gift instead of cleanin' coats
But music was his life
It was not his livelihood
And it made him feel so happy and it made him feel so good
He sang from his heart and he sang from his soul
He did not know how well he sang
It just made him whole
His friends kept workin' on him to try music out full time
A big debut and rave reviews
A great career to climb
Finally they got to him
He would take the fling
A concert agent in New York agreed to have him sing
There were plane tickets
Phone calls
Money spent to rent the hall
It took most of his savings but he gladly used them all
But music was his life
It was not his livelihood
And it made him feel so happy and it made him feel so good
He sang from his heart and he sang from his soul
He did not know how well he sang
It just made him whole
The evenin' came he took the stage
His face set in a smile
In the half filled hall the critics sat watchin' on the aisle
The concert was a blur to him
Spatters of applause
He did not know how well he sang
He only heard the flaws
But the critics were concise
It only took four lines
And no one could accuse them of bein' over kind
Mister Martin Tanner
A baritone of Dayton Ohio made his town hall debut last night
He came well prepared but unfortunately his presentation was not up to contemporary professional standards
His voice lacks the range and tonal color necessary to make it consistently interesting
Full time consideration of another endeavor might be in order
He came home to Dayton and was questioned by his friends
But he smiled and just said nothin' and he never sang again
Exceptin' very late at night when the shop was dark and closed
He sang softly to himself as he sorted through the clothes
But music was his life
It was not his livelihood
And it made him feel so happy
And it made him feel so good
And he sang from his heart
And he sang from his soul
He did not know how well he sang
It just made him whole
