In the back In the room I for you Ya for me
came down, pitter-pat Say, you think, it's raining outside, you said, "So what" You turned the record player on, had a smoke, up Walked across to the in a cloud of mist, couldn't resist
A stepped in the hall and she rapped the door the key in the letter box, she turned the door Walked into the and said, "What's goin' on?"
"I got back from down the road, I gotta couple a bottles of wine to turn you on, what-a you think of that?" I said, "Sit down cat, pull up a seat, you're wet off your coat and hat, wipe your feet on the mat"
In the room In the back I for you Ya for me
I said, "What is it Charlie, where did we go all day? You seem to get nowhere and do nothin' but sit at each other" He said, "I know, I been doin' the same 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 workin' so hard lately that I can only fall asleep in bed"
So he played some more sounds and a while brought out some cherry wine, cherry wine And we about what was goin' on in the music world And things
The rain outside down like it came never before Down, came down, it came, rain, rain, And I said, "Baby what time is it, what time is it, tell me what is it? "Ah, four-thirty"
So I peeked the corner, the blind An there ya go, there's another girl that's home from school Lookin' so cool, just her As to Zs
And said, "Hey man, don't look All the little comin' home from school and they're sittin' Talkin' and drinkin' and all other funny things"
And said to me, "Ya know what?", I said, "What?" He said, "Man, you gotta go out and do somethin' for yourself Feel like you wanna make it or else you be sittin' 'round here nothin' "
I said, "You're right, I said, "You're so right" He said, "I know", I said, "Do ya?" Said, "You know, you're records, cuttin' records right You come that"
An' just through all the time, you're gonna be out on the 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 gig, you gotta make it "I said, "Yeah I safe, I said, "Yeah, you know I can't stay all the time as much as I'd like to But, I just learned all day and all night"
"And dig sounds, and go down to the And once the artists go the motions do my thing, aah-ah, ah-ah gotta do my thing"
