Goodbye Mr. Grossman Hello Mr. Fong.


I can tell you about a lot of years


That I watched going down At good old Grossmans Tavern


The best Honky Tonk in town


So we better have another beer, it might not be for long


Goodbye Mr. Grossman Hello Mr. Fong.








There were many friends and many girls 


We made along the way.


We drank our beers and whiskies 


And passed the time of day


And we listened to the Downchilds or Kid Bastien


Sing a song


Goodbye Mr. Grossman Hello Mr. Fong.








We we may have a few years yet


Before they tear it down


And new feet tramp away the memories


Of our old stomping ground.


As Chinatown keeps growin' on dollars from Hong Kong.


Goodbye Mr. Grossman Hello Mr. Fong.








Well cities grow and change their ways


And we feel the growing pains


but we'll always find a place to meet


Tho it might not be the same.


We better have another beer before we move along


Goodbye Mr. Grossman Goodbye Mr. Fong.
