christie lee

Singer:joel, billy

let me tell you a story

about a woman and a man

maybe you will find familiar

maybe you won't understand

the man's name i don't remember

he was always joe to me

but i can't forget the woman

she was always christie lee

he was working in a night club

that's where he played the saxophone

he used to fake stock arrangements

he left the customers alone

but one night before the last song

about a quarter to three

he saw her standing at the coat check

and made his move on christie lee

christie lee

christie lee

christie lee

christie lee

she was a nice piece of music

she had a rhythm all her own

he blew a solo like a blind man

she really dug his saxophone

she wanted more than just an encore

and he could play in every key

he left the stage and packed his alto

and took it home with christie lee

oh i heard the man knew the bird" like the bible
