The Friend of the Triangle Player

I travel around from town to town
I'm always were the action's at
I turn up for a concert
Without a ticket, tie or hat
But I'll always have a ready story
To tell that dummy on the door
Cause I'm the friend
Of the triangle player
Should he need to know much more

You know it's not always that easy
In fact sometimes it can be hard
But I never take no for an answer
And that's how I got this far
If I can't get through the front door
Then I'll find my way around the back
Cause I'm the friend
Of the triangle player
No more, no less than that

Yes I do meet many women
They are a hazard of this trade
You see they all love a musician
Why my live is truly made
Sometimes it's just an autograph
Otherwise it's straight to bed
Cause I'm the friend
Of the triangle player
And they ain't screwed
Many of them

I have found entry to many places
But the Whitehouse was my best
And as I stepped forward
To meet the president
Security just held their breath
Well Joe looked kind of uneasy
As no-one seemed
To know my name
I said I'm the friend
Of the triangle player
Just smile and shake my hand

Well this is where the song
Was supposed to end
But I wrote this last verse late
It almost missed the CD
But it's heard best right
Here on stage
This song is a tribute
To a good old friend of mine
And he's a damned
Good triangle player
And he's standing right by my side
