Welcome to Nied's everybody!
This is a song about an imaginary place
that actually exhists ...
Now let me paint a picture of a place called Nied's
In 1941 Pope Paul sowed the seeds
Came a son named Jimmy, did the best he can
That little boy grew into a hell-uv-a man
Can't seem to drink anywhere else in town
Charlie sets em up, Schmitty knocks em down
Say you're kinda hungry, well your lucks just right
Get your famous fish sandwich at Nied's Hotel tonight
Wow wee Maloney really could paint
Now one runs a grill like old Slickville Dave
Roy Kawolski's tickets are fraud
Theresa and Nancy classy broads
A cope named Leslie
Don Devinny too
Lady Di and Mi Mi, Jo Murry have a few
Tonight at Ceasar's Palace Lenny makes em' laugh
Drunkin' "Krenn Heads" scream real loud
The Rat sure got the shaft
Hanging out on a Monday night
It's Dash and his bowling buddies
Kenny Brunsell broke his leg
Trying to dance real funny
When Mike the bartender serves her twelve
Maggie turns to Cybil
Lovable Len, the working mans friend
Says "Packy's really in trouble, again"
It's called creative family planning
The Animal caught a real bad break
But we know he'll be all right
Standing tall with all our hope and faith
He'll make it through another day
We all will pray Steve will be ok
Johnny V. and Herky playing pool
Barbie and Amy always dealing with them fools
You know those old Ford Brothers are so loud
Wild Miss Kitty, always drinking proud
Jimmy's got two kids of his own today
Two handsome boys, Ronnie and P.J.
Say your kind of thirsty, well your lucks just right
Get your Iron City beer at Nied's Hotel tonight

"John Fox would like to dedicate his work on Nied's
Hotel to his grandmother Mary Louviaux. Mary was a highly respected
jazz pianist for over six decades in the Pittsburgh area. She
was also a life long student and friend of Johnny Costa, long
time musical director for Mr. Rogers Neighborhood. Mary Louviaux
touched many lives through her music."
