http://www.alansondheim.org/alltold.mp3 alto clarinet

this very old deathbed guy plays alto clarinet
see, no one else will touch the instrument
no one else will touch the old guy
the old guy's a bit touched but he plays the alto clarinet
he makes up the kit and the group
all at once he plays the kit and the group
he can't control his fury he turns it on himself
he's a funny comedy of funny errors he's angry and that's funny
it's funny and has a funny beginning and a funny ending
or a deathbed funny ending that's just funny coming
it's funny watch them put him in the funny deathbed
limbs akimbo limbs akimbo
so listen up the death rattle's just beneath the surface
and all of us funny old guys are incompetent, useless, and dead
