A telling of my trip to the Elephant Room a jazz club in Austin TX. I wrote the words back in 2016 during the trip and kept them and finally came up with some music to fit it...

Elephant Room Words/Music Tony DeLecce 11/2016 and 2/2024 Walking down the sidewalk looking for something to do I ran into a bar called the Elephant Room I walked down the steps to a darkened basement room I heard the band playing a familiar Jazz tune VERSE2 I took a seat in the corner by the stage in front of the band I saw the guitarist fingers and I heard the Baby Grand I ordered a tall Beer as the singer joined the band I was flying high already when she took me by the hand VERSE3 The Bass was laying the groove the band was setting the mood The singer was taking them higher all the way up to the moon They came back to earth in time for the next tune as the crowd began to filter into the elephant room BRIDGE Don't ask me how I got here I dont know Some things in life turn out that way If I had turned left two blocks ago I would have missed the show LEAD GUITAR BREAK My friend from work he found me asked me where did I go I said the music called to me I had to see the show I walked down these steps into the Elephant Room I'm sorry that I lost you I couldnt leave these tunes VERSE5 I hope you understand now that your in the Elephant Room Why dont you order a beer and get some food I promise we can leave here right after the show Please dont make me leave here I dont want to go VERSE6 He said that I will stay here as long as there is beer I have nowhere else to be so I might as well be here Thats why I came down the steps to the Elephant Room I knew that he would find me as soon as he heard the tunes BRIDGE Don't ask me how I got here I dont know Some things in life turn out that way If I had turned left two blocks ago I would have missed the show VERSE7 Walking down the sidewalk looking for something to do I ran into a bar called the Elephant Room I walked down the steps to a darkened basement room I heard the band playing a familiar Jazz tune VERSE8 I took a seat in the corner by the stage in front of the band I saw the guitarist fingers and I heard the Baby Grand I ordered a tall Beer as the singer joined the band I was flying high already when she took me by the hand VERSE9 The Bass was laying the groove the band was setting the mood The singer was taking them higher all the way up to the moon If you find yourself in Austin looking for something to do Let me recommend to you the Elephant Room
