I'm Your Late Night Evening Prostitute, The Early Years vol 1, Tom Waits [231]

Is this a tender song, a wry observation about the music industry, or a badly-placed bit of bawdy humour? Helen & Amy rejoin Martin & Sam to listen to a Tom Waits track that may have killed at the Troubadour, but does not seem to land on the album. And then it all kicks off over poor, poor Billy Joel. He never asked for any of this… website: songbysongpodcast.com twitter: @songbysongpod e-mail: [email protected] Music extracts used for illustrative/review purposes include: I'm Your Late Night Evening Prostitute, The Early Years vol 1, Tom Waits (1991) Piano Man, Piano Man, Billy Joel (1973) We think your Song by Song experience will be enhanced by hearing, in full, the songs featured in the show, which you can get hold of from your favourite record shop or online platform.

Lyrics - I'm Your Late Night Evening Prostitute Well, I got here at eight and I'll be here 'til two
 I'll try my best to entertain you and
 Please don't mind me if I get a bit crude 
I'm your late night evening prostitute So drink your Martini and stare at the moon
 Don't mind me, I'll continue to croon and
 Don't mind me if I get a bit lewd 
I'm your late night evening prostitute And dance, have a good time I'll continue to shine
 Yes, dance, have a good time
 Don't mind me if I slip upon a rhyme And I got here at eight and I'll be here 'til two 
I'll try my best to entertain you and
 Please don't mind me if I get a bit crude 
I'm your late night evening prostitute 
I'm your late night evening prostitute
