    More info on the project:

    Inspired by the unsuccessful experimental Broadway shows of the 1970s, singer-songwriter-comedian Julian Velard has written a musical about his own life. A born Manhattanite living in Queens with a wife and a child, Velard has quit the music business for the stable world of musical theater. Joined by his co-writer and fellow dad Mark from the Park, Velard presents his disasterpiece in an attempt to face middle age with his dreams still on his shoulders and the realities of life around his neck.

    Includes unlimited streaming of Please Don't Make Me Play Piano Man (Official Queens Cast Recording) via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

lyrics

Never been a person you could call content
You’ll can’t get a dollar outta fifty cents
Spent my youth preparing for the worst
The best is yet to come, I’m getting reimbursed

Baby I know it took some time
But I’m about to hit my prime
I feel like life has just begun
I’m half done

Been a mean lover and a lousy friend
Interrupted every sentence before the end
A spoiled little boy since the day we met
But I haven’t gone bad, don’t get rid of me yet

Baby I’m worth a second look
Just like a steak that’s undercooked
I’m like a burger without a bun
I’m half-done

Feeling like a kid I’m so inspired
I know that I can be the guy you require
I know you’re tired
Of all the years
And all the tears
Facing all fears alone
Here comes your man
He's fully grown

I know you always wanted us to have a plan
But were paralyzed by my attention span
Life is a like TV show I always quit
They say the ending’s good, I gotta stick with it
Baby my story’s incomplete
An adventure I can’t repeat
An episode I can’t re-run
I’m half done, oooo yaza doodle dah!

I gotta a lot things I wanna do
Take a trip around the world with you
Yes it’s true
I recognize a lifetime flies
The future dies too soon
Only so much air
In this hot air balloon

It’s obvious to me that you deserve the best
I didn’t give my all, so here comes the rest
With a glass half full and a little luck
You’ll get a few more pennies out this half a buck
Baby the clock is ticking fast
So let’s make every second last
It’s time for us to have some fun
I’m half done
I’m half done
A little more ammo in this gun
Let's take a trip around the sun
Oh now I'm done
