Peter and Lou Lyrics

Please note that this is the core of the song.
This is not the exact intro for the song but it works in this key.
Peter and Lou would skate
On winter's frozen lake
Circling around all their friends
Laughing wherever they went.
They're catching the mornin' plane
And sendin' the rest by train,
Hangin' their skates on the wall
Takin' their turn and that's all
With brushes & canvas & macrome handcrafts & Bessie Smith singin' the
blues...
A chorus for Peter & Lou.
Now loneliness has a way
Of hangin' around all day
I'm standing alone on the ice
I'm wonderin' if maybe they've been right
So I'll catch the mornin' plane
Send all the rest by train
Leavin' the ice there to thaw
I'm takin' my turn and that's all.
And if I should miss them, I'll go back & listen to Bessie Smith
singin' the blues
In a chorus for Peter & Lou
Oh, if I should miss them, I'll go back & listen to Bessie Smith
singin' the blues
In a chorus for Peter & Lou
