In the room In the back I for you Ya for me
Rain down, pitter-pat Say, what you think, it's outside, you said, "So what" You turned the record player on, had a smoke, up Walked across to the joint in a of mist, couldn't resist
A kitty stepped in the and she rapped the door the key in the letter box, she turned the door Walked the room and said, "What's goin' on?"
"I just got back from down the road, I gotta couple a bottles of Somethin' to turn you on, what-a you of that?" I said, "Sit down cat, up a seat, you're soakin' wet Take off your and hat, wipe your feet on the mat"
In the back 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 nothin' but sit lookin' at other" He said, "I know, I doin' 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 know what you guys do But I been workin' so hard that I can only just fall asleep in bed"
So he played some more and grooved a while Somebody out some cherry wine, cherry wine And we talked about what was goin' on in the world And things
The rain outside came down like it 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 'round the corner, the blind An ya go, there's another girl that's comin' home from school Lookin' so cool, learned her As to Zs
And said, "Hey man, don't funny All the little girls comin' home from and they're sittin' Talkin' and drinkin' and all other funny things"
And Charlie 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 you gonna 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 cuttin' records, records right You come that"
An' just through all the time, you're gonna be out on the I'm out on the backseat man, on the, on the And the are gonna run
All of a sudden, don't ya feel safe the next gig, you gotta 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 learned about all day and all night"
"And dig sounds, and go down to the And the artists go through the motions do my thing, aah-ah, ah-ah gotta do my thing"
