You Had It Last
Tom Demarest 9/20/03

VERSE I:
I IV
Well the telephone rang late the other day, just as I was puttin’ my tools away
I V
And the voice at the other end says “This here is Fred”.
I IV
I was just about to say “Well hi!” when he goes right on to say “Now I’m the guy
I V I ----------V
That had his car towed in last week cuzin’ it was dead?”.
I IV
As I’m tryin’ to recall just who he was he says “Now I’m only callin’ you because
I V
It’s been runnin’ real great and I thought you’d like to know”.
I IV
Well that made me feel a bit relieved ‘til he says “Just one thing has got me peeved
I V I
All my favorite shows is gone from the radio”


CHORUS: (Second Chorus)
IV I
“And since you had it last and I’m sure that you had a blast..
(Yes I did have it last, and I did consider a blast..)
V I
Got to use all your tools just to do what you love to do.
(Or a wrecking ball or a well placed bullet or two!)
IV I
Now we both know that you’re the only one that could’a did..., whatever was done
(Now I’ve always thought that I was cheap but then I laid eyes on your old heap.)
V IV I
It seems “restitution” is something we might pursue?.”
(But that radio is baby-spankin’ new!) [Tag chorus pick-up “He said you…..”]

VERSE II: Restitution???

I heard a lawyer’s voice when Fred spoke that word, like it mighta’ been somethin’ that he just heard

Watchin’ Judge Judy or the Andy Griffith show.

Recallin’ Fred & his beat up car, and first impressions bein’ what they are...

“Restitution” didn’t seem like a word that he would know.

So I tried to explain “Well Fred you see, a lot of things spin when you turn that key

So your battery was disconnected for an hour or so.”

Like that blinking light on your VCR the high tech geeks have invaded your car!

So get the kid next door to re-set your radio.”
