"The Piano Has Been Drinking (Not Me) (An Evening with Pete King)", often referred to as "The Piano Has Been Drinking", is a song written and performed by Tom Waits. The song first appeared on his 1976 album ''Small Change'', and an extended live version on the 1981 compilation album ''Bounced Checks''.
==Lyrics==
Throughout the song, Waits imitates a drunkard, spouting nonsense phrases with the piano tune occasionally stumbling over itself, recalling a "somewhat abused, slightly-out-of-tune piano that one would expect to find in the corner of a bar or left out in the rain."〔Kessel, Corinne (2007) ''The words and music of Tom Waits,'' Praeger, p23〕 Waits repeatedly comments and complains about numerous inanimate objects with such lyrics as "The carpet needs a haircut." The song has been described as "() that late-night hades, the club where you can't find a waitress, "even with a Geiger counter"; where "the spotlight looks like a prison break" and the owner has "the IQ of a fence post."〔Humphries, Patrick (2007) ''The many lives of Tom Waits,'' Omnibus Press, p92-3〕 The song's full title includes a reference to Pete King, co-founder and club director of Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club, at which Waits performed from May 31 to June 12, 1976.〔("The Piano Has Been Drinking" lyrics ) - Tom Waits Library - accessed November 16, 2010〕
