Okay, well I'm gonna get this all set up.
I'm gonna talk about this sexy man over here, Avi Koffman!
So Avi and I met through mutual friend, and he lived in the LA area, so we just met for coffee.
And I knew that he was gonna be in the group the second he introduced himself, because he was like,
Hi, I'm Rocky.
And I was like, well, my ground is shaking, [F] and I think that's an indicator that I'm in.
[B]
But now he's a great musician, and when we were [G] first arranging E.T., actually that's not what I'm gonna say,
[E] he was like, I can do this thing [F] where I sing [D#] two notes at once, and I was like, oh, you can do that.
[G] [Fm] No, I was like, that's really cool, he can, he [A] can.
So every show, I insist that he does it for you guys.
[G]
[D]
[F] [C#m] Okay, you guys [D#]
are very, [C] very nice, first of all.
[E]
So, [G] before we came to LA, everyone was like, [E] watch out for Ali, [G] they're a bad crowd, and I was like, okay, cool.
But you guys [F] are awesome.
[C#] Thank
[D#] you guys for having us, it's such an honor to sing for such amazing, [C] beautiful people.
[C#] So thank you.
[F#m]
[Em] I love you [C] as well.
[C#]
[G] So, I did overtone singing [C#] on the last tour, [G#] but I'm gonna do something a little bit different [C#] this time.
Tonight, [A] I'm gonna do a [D#] song you guys know, [C#m] The Lion Sleeps Tonight.
[F] But [F#] when you're listening, don't listen to what I'm singing, [F] listen to the Mariah [D] Carey whistle tone, do you hear [N] about that?
I'm gonna do it again.
