In the room In the room I for you Ya for me
Rain down, pitter-pat Say, what you think, raining outside, you said, "So what" You the record player on, had a smoke, stood up Walked to the joint in a cloud of mist, couldn't resist
A kitty stepped in the hall and she rapped the Found the key in the letter box, she the door Walked the room and said, "What's goin' on?"
"I just got back from the road, I gotta couple a bottles of wine Somethin' to turn you on, you think of that?" I said, "Sit down cat, pull up a seat, you're wet Take off your and hat, wipe your feet on the mat"
In the room In the room I for you Ya for me
I said, "What time is it Charlie, did we go all day? You seem to get nowhere and do but sit lookin' at each other" He said, "I know, I doin' the same thing for weeks"
I look at the clock and all of a I'm hypnotized It speaks to me, it goes, "Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock", The kid he said, "I don't know you guys do But I been so hard lately that I can only just fall asleep in bed"
So he played more sounds and grooved a while brought out some cherry wine, cherry wine And we talked about what was goin' on in the music And things
The rain outside came down like it came before Down, down, it came, rain, rain, rain And I said, "Baby time is it, what time is it, tell me what time is it? "Ah, four-thirty"
So I peeked the corner, the blind An ya go, there's another girl that's comin' home from school Lookin' so cool, just her As to Zs
And said, "Hey man, don't funny All the little girls comin' home from and they're sittin' Talkin' and and all them other funny things"
And said to me, "Ya know what?", I said, "What?" He said, "Man, you gotta go out there and do somethin' for Feel like you wanna make it or else you gonna be sittin' here Like "
I said, "You're right, I said, "You're so right" He said, "I know", I said, "Do ya?" Said, "You know, you're cuttin' records, cuttin' records You through that"
An' just through all the time, gonna be out on the road I'm out on the man, on the, on the highway And the are gonna run
All of a sudden, don't ya feel safe the next gig, you make it "I said, "Yeah I feel safe, I said, "Yeah, you I can't stay all the time as much as I'd like to But, I just about all day and all night"
"And dig sounds, and go down to the And once the artists go through the do my thing, aah-ah, ah-ah gotta do my thing"
