Artist/Band: Batchelor Tom Tabs
Song: Somewhere Other Than Night Tab
These are the lyrics to a parody of Garth Brooks's 'Somewhere Other Than
The Night'. This version is written by Tom Batchelor.
He pulled in the parking lot
And checked the time
It was eleven PM,
Barely made it there on time.
And between the front doors slammin'
They could hear him speak:
Damn this rain,
And damn this sixty-hour week!
He opened the drawer
And looked at the schedule page.
Thought for a minute,
And took a double take.
Checked it one more time
And realized with a jerk
The boss man
Had finally scheduled him to work
(Chorus)
Somewhere other than the night,
No he could not believe it.
Somewhere other than the night,
All he could say was shit!
He'd wanted this for eons,
A chance to run this joint
Somewhere other than the night!
He spent the night wrapped up in his work
In ecstacy
Checked it thirty-one times,
Still he could not believe.
There are times he'd gone without sleep
For weeks on end
But he vowed
To never work a night again!
(Chorus)
Waited for eons for a chance to run this joint
Somewhere ... other than the night
