What up people & Dishwater Funkateers
Here’s the Robalicious Groove, so lend me your ears
It’s my duty, besides to shake the booty
To entertain and tell the real story
Of Mo Nizel’s fame & Rock Star glory
I met Mo when I was a guitar playin’ man
His ponytail was so long it would rival Jimmy Jams’
Influenced from the sounds of Queen, Van Halen, even the Eagles
He became the Head Roadie for our old band Regal Beagle
Mo Nizel came aboard & was my soundman and my roadie
Just like the kind from Warrant, Journey, Styx or Jon Bon Jovi
He said "Hey guys ..if you don’t mind.....I used to play some keys"
I said "Yeah right......My new roadie...The Nizel?...fellas.....please
He was a hard rocker, a kitchen cook shocker
But he hadn’t touched the keys since his middle school locker
He said he used to play WAY back in the day
so we started in a jam....I think the key was in A
LA Woman by the Doors and he soon found the chords
Made it all come together and sounded even better
But the time had come to switch gears to theFunk
Could this guy hang with the other Dishwater punks?
He leaped feet first with a winning attitude
Lots of new material and some new dance moves
But he pushed himself hard when we asked please
Winging it, singing, and sometimes playing 3 sets of keys
He sat in with the band and we rehearsed over & over
His dedication & effort was like a 4 leaf clover
Easy, laid back along with a perfect pitch ear
He complimented our band like the 3rd muskateer
Bonnaroo, Cincinnati and let’s don’t forget the Booth in Bama
A groove so thick and greasy it would make you slap yo mama
He drove thru the nights and slept very little
Fueled by his RockStar, Red Bull, or sometimes even Skittles
But he never complained within his 5 years
A TRUE team player among his funky peers
But as all good things must come to an end
Mo Nizel retired but he’s still our great friend
So thank you for all of the effort
Thank you for your abilities
We say peace to Mo Nizel for being our glue man
And always sound checking with the Big 80s
