Story Behind The Song

Real story bout a real person

Song Description

I was a house band in a place for 12 years and we had a customer named Ozzie. He was a regular and the song is about him......

Lyrics

        Ozzie                   

.12 JUST ABOUT 9:00, HE STROLLS IN
YOU'D NEVER KNOW, HE'S SAD, BY HIS GRIN
.25 HE  ORDERS, A DOUBLE SCOTCH, THEN HE, SITS DOWN
LEANS BACK, IN HIS CHAIR, AND LOOKS AROUND

.37 SEES SOME OLD FRIENDS,  AND WAVES THEM A GREETING
BUT HE SITS ALL ALONE, BY HIMSELF
.52 THERE'S NO ONE ,HERE,, SPECIAL, HE'S MEETING
MAKES YOU THINK, HE'S BEEN HERE , A TIME OR TWO ............

1.06 A BALL ROOM DANCER, HE, WAS ONE OF THE BEST 
BUT HE LOST HIS WIFE, NOW THAT'S, A REAL TEST
 1.19 BEFORE SHE DIED, SHE SAID GO , LIVE YOUR LIFE
SO, HE COMES HERE TO DANCE, WITH HER MEMORY,
           
1.32 THE MUSIC STARTS, AND HE VENTURES A GLANCE
PRETTY GIRLS, HE PICKS ONE TO DANCE
1.45 HE'LL DANCE, AND TWIRL, AND SPIN THEM AROUND
YOU CAN'T EVEN TELL, HIS FEET,, TOUCH THE GROUND
             
1.58. EVERY NIGHT, HE LETS HIS MIND, GO BACK, IN TIME
 WITH SKILL AND GRACE, DOES HIS BEST, TO SHINE......

2.12 SO IF YOU'RE OUT FOR THE NIGHT, OR JUST PASSING THROUGH
YOU SHOULD COME BYE, AND MEET OZZIE,   HE'S  A 82
2.25 THE BAND PLAYS  AGAIN,  HE STARTS TO SPIN
ALL THE GIRLS, LINE UP TO DANCE WITH HIM
2.36 HE SAYS THANK YOU. MAME, WITH SMALL TALK AND A GRIN
