It's My First Filk at Sally's
by Phillip Mills
TTTO: Coming Into Los Angeles - Arlo Guthrie

Riding up from North York to this house in Thornhill,
Played a song, survived, and now dinner.
Chicken, fries, and dipping sauce all over the place;
Wonder why I'm not getting thinner.

CHORUS:
Fighting off the shakes in my knees, singing in a couple of keys,
It's my first filk at Sally's, but I'll be back again.

There's a guy with a guitar and he knows all the chords,
Makes me think of what I've been missing.
He's playing from a score he's never seen before;
Maybe I'll just shut up and listen.

CHORUS

There's a woman sitting on the living-room floor,
Strumming with her 12-string ringing.
Remembers her lines and that's blowing my mind
'Cause I haven't a clue what I'm singing.

CHORUS
