In the back In the back I for you Ya for me
Rain 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 kitty stepped in the hall and she rapped the the key in the letter box, she turned the door Walked into the room and said, "What's on?"
"I just got back from down the road, I couple a bottles of wine Somethin' to turn you on, what-a you of that?" I said, "Sit down cat, up a seat, you're soakin' 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 to get nowhere and do nothin' but sit lookin' at each other" He said, "I know, I been the same thing for weeks"
I at the clock and all of a sudden I'm hypnotized It to me, it goes, "Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock", ah-huh The kid he said, "I don't what you guys do But I been workin' so hard lately that I can only just asleep in bed"
So he played more sounds and grooved a while Somebody brought out some cherry wine, wine And we talked what was goin' on in the music world And other
The rain outside came down like it came never Down, came down, it came, rain, rain, And I said, "Baby what time is it, what time is it, me what time is it? "Ah, four-thirty"
So I 'round the corner, the blind An there ya go, there's 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 comin' home from school and they're sittin' Talkin' and drinkin' and all them other things"
And said to me, "Ya know what?", I said, "What?" He said, "Man, you go out there and do somethin' for yourself 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' through all the time, you're 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 gig, you gotta make it "I said, "Yeah I feel safe, I said, "Yeah, you I can't stay here all the time as as I'd like to But, I just learned all day and all night"
"And dig sounds, and go down to the And the artists go through the motions Gotta do my thing, aah-ah, ah-ah do my thing"
