about

This song was inspired by a group of dear friends that I met at the Webster Apartments, a women’s residence in NYC when I first came to New York. Peggy is a dear friend who lived at the Webster, and I bumped into her later in life when I rented office space for my 1st chiropractic practice. Peggy was also renting space in the same building but neither of us knew it until we saw each other in the elevator. This song is dedicated to Peggy and my Webster friends.

lyrics

My Friend Peg

Denise D’Angelo Jones


Look over there, sitting at the table
Holding her husband’s hand
She’s in the know, of everybody’s secrets
That’s my friend Peg
And when I’m feeling kind of funky and low
She helps me, let go
Simply by letting me know, she’s there
She’s my friend Peg, My friend Peg

Back at the Web, a boarding house in Chelsea
That’s where we met
Single and broke, we took on Manhattan
Barely making the rent
Armored with headshots, and resumes
We were star-struck on Broadway
Standing room and center stage
Were such a high, way back then
With my friend Peg

Memories remain, of temp jobs and heart throbs
But those dues have been paid
Finishing school, and moving to Manhattan
A doctor, I became
The elevator bell loudly rang
It was there with a twist of fate
Standing in a trench coat,
And clutching a leather brief case, in her hand
Stood my friend Peg!

Look over there, sipping wine and waving
That’s my friend Peg
She’s in the know, of much investigation
We can’t comprehend
But when I’m feeling kind of funky and low
She helps me let go
Simply by letting me know, she cares
She’s my friend Peg
She’s my friend Peg She’s my friend Peg
