Lyrics:
from distant star
to this here bar
the me, the you
where are we now?
hooray the blues
of everyone
Allison

keeps a smile
around a while
he took a fright
and jettisoned
we'll go tonight
to hear him tell
"oh well"
Allison
Allison

oooooooh

and when the planet hit the sun
I saw the face of Allison
Allison
Allison
Allison
Allison


Notes:
The song was originally about a girl called Alison but was changed to be about Mose Allison the Jazz pianist because of the Elvis Costello song of the same name.

Quotes:
But of course Elvis Costello has a song called Alison, so I had to change it.
- Q September 1990
