Donny Novitski

That's me, to a T

You might as well have said

"Hey Donny, come get your prize."

I could write it in my sleep

But the trick is the delivery

And the difference that I have is

I was there, made it through

And now my number one priority

Is to put a band together that did too

Every horn and clarinet will be a

Military vet, and he played with authority

Donny Novitski, accordion genius

Plays weddings at seven-years-old

Then the piano, like fish take to water

By nine it's Fats Waller down cold

Tunes of my own start to work themselves out

I'm a twelve-year-old Irving Berlin

All of that promise and none of the payoff

I'm still playing weddings and taking my day off

From bumming around drinking gin

They say cream rises but what if nobody tasted it?

If that cream rises and spoils, it's gonna be wasted

But Donny Novitski could be Frank Sinatra

If someone would give him a break

In fact, I'd be better, cause I play piano

And he can't read music, the fake

Donny Novitski spent four years in battle

And I carry the scars when I croon

Frankie Sinatra skipped out on the army and

Half the time sings out of tune, he is so flat

They say cream rises, but what if nobody knew it?

If that cream rises and rots, and somebody blew it

Donny Novitski is finally looking

At one little crack in the door

And get it to open and right there

Behind it, is everything I'm working for

Picture Donny Novitski, the Polish-Italian

Crooning his tunes, smoking his stogies

Genuine vet of an army battalion

Thin-tailored suits, if I cut out pierogis

Bobby Sockers swoon at my charms

Backed up by my brothers in arms

Donny Novitski knows this is a lifeline

A once in a millennium shot

And I'm gonna take it, take aim at my target

And hit it with all that I got

Donny Novitski has strong ammunition

Plenty of talent, and burning ambition

His songs are authentic as well

From living through four years of hell

Donny needs something to block out the memory

And break this insomnious spell

They say cream rises, but what if nobody tasted it?

If that cream rises and spoils, it's gonna be wasted

So make it all worth it and give it a meaning

Going from Cleveland to Hollywood screening

Donny Novitski is gonna win first prize

Donny Novitski is ready to rise!
