[Verse 1]
Ain't nothin' wrong with
A waltz as long
As everyone's playing it right
Read all about it
In the Three-Quarter Times
No comet ever burned half-as-bright

[Chorus 1]
Cowboy Jack Clement
Believe you me
Sharp as a tack piano key
This town will never be the same now that he's gone

[Verse 2]
In spite of what all of
These experts may say
These experts, they're often times wrong
It shouldn't take more than
Three or four minutes
To record your number one song

[Chorus 2]
Cowboy Jack Clement
I guarantee
Sharp as a tack piano key
This town will never be the same now that he's gone
But there's still a little bit of shaking going on
[Spoken]
I mean, that, that's about as good as I'm gonna be able to do that probably
