Chopin: Krakowiak - Concert Rondo in F, Op. 14
“Though he couldn’t have known it at the time, he would never return to Poland. Chopin’s friends met him at the [Warsaw] gates, they sang a cantata to him, a farewell cantata, and for decades there was a rumor that they gave him a silver goblet full of Polish earth, which they would one day sprinkle on his grave.”

I was recently rid of a man again
So I caught me a cab to see Flanagan
I told the cabbie 'To the alley in back'
I told myself coming would keep me intact
Flanny shouts from the second floor
As I crossed the lot to the kitchen door
I see Guillermo and give him some lip
And I cross to the bar, Ellen pours me a nip
And I look to the stage it's the rock of rage, as Jon is on
And how could I listen without wanting to be with them,
And how could I have thought that I was ever alone?
I feel like singing and drinking and stuff
And I don't wanna care if I stumble or cry
Handle me like family and that'll be enough,
To keep me from dying when I want to die
When over the rainbow's too far
Go to Lar-go to Lar-go to Largo
When over the rainbow's too far
Go to Lar-go to Lar-go to Largo
I'm hopping scotches with Loretta and Bob,
But, but barely containing my rapturous song
Jon's calling names here like Santas reindeer
On Palmer on Leisz on Sarah on Sean
I love watching the Watkins when there rocking with Garza
I want to be part of the band though
And when Mr. Tench is on the bench I want to be the piano
I feel like singing and drinking and stuff
And I don't wanna care if I stumble or cry
Handle me like family and that'll be enough,
To keep me from dying when I want to die
When over the rainbow's too far
Go to Lar-go to Lar-go to Largo
When over the rainbow's too far
Go to Lar-go to Lar-go to Largo
