well, the Knicks lost big to Cleveland  at the Garden Friday night  so I wandered down Eight Avenue   to get a little tight  got into a little scuffle all because of Willis Reed  now there's one more bar in New York   I can't get me what I need    one by one, the doors are closing  one by one, they're shutting down  one by one, the word is spreading  one by one, all over town  one by one, my many options  one by one, they're falling down  dropping off like flies  one by one    well, I had a job last summer writing copy for the Post  the hours were a bummer,  the pay was worse than most  missed a couple deadlines and I got the bum's rush  another golden opportunity turned to mush    ch.    well, I spent my last ten dollars on a longshot at the track  hit on the exacta, I got 700 back  now my rent is paid, I've got some groceries and some wine  one by one, it all is working out  everything is fine
