Three Down, One to Go
Music and lyrics © 2005
Gauthier, Maloney, Pogue, von Hoffman

You were one of the brudders from Queens
One of the original four
You're still alive, with your long gray hair
But the others aren't anymore

Joey!
Tall and thin and large on stage
Never learned to act his age
We all wish he'd had more time
The big C knocked him out in his prime

(Chorus)
Don't die Tommy
Tommy don't die
If you went too
It would make me cry
Three down, one to go
Tell me you'll be playing in one more show
Don't die Tommy
Tommy, don't die

Dee Dee!
Dee Dee played bass, and counted 1, 2, 3, 4
When the gig was over, he'd have to go score
At the hall of fame he said "I want to thank me!"
But he punched his own ticket, died of OD

Johnny!
Johnnie really loved his wife
Whose aquisition ruined Joey's life
When he played guitar it sounded like thunder
But prostate cancer put him six feet under

(Chorus)
