about

Andrew T. Malloy II was Mark and Sean's father and Gavin's grandfather. At bedtime, he'd always say, "Goodnight, sleep tight, and don't let the bed bugs bite." That phrase, along with many of his other trusty words of wisdom and whimsy have made up this song.

Be it at a show, a parade, or even a rehearsal, "Andrew T." is always the last song we play whenever we get together, (and the only time we get together is when we get together), so it's only fitting that this should be the last track on the album.

We'll see ya when we see ya.

lyrics

THE ANDREW T. POLKA

The only time we get together is when we get together,
I hope we'll be together soon again,
I'm so sorry that we have to part, but I'll keep you in my heart,
and I'll see you when I see you, my friend.

May the road rise to meet you, may friendly faces greet you,
wherever you may go in this land,
And until we meet again, I wish you this, my friend,
may God hold you in the palm of his hand.
The only time we get together is when we get together,
I hope we'll be together soon again,
When you leave I'll hug and kiss you, and when you're gone, I'll miss you,
But I'll see you when I see you, my friend.

Sit long, laugh loud,
eat well, drink deep.
Go home, unwind,
Get up on top of bed, and make yourself some sleep!

The only time we get together is when we get together,
And now our time together's at an end,
So good night, sleep tight, don't let the bedbugs bite,
and I'll see you when I see you, my friend.
and I'll see you when I see you, my friend.
and I'll see you when I see you, my friend.

(rack 'em up, sack 'em up, any ol' time)
