In the room 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 on, had a smoke, stood up Walked across to the in a cloud of mist, couldn't resist
A kitty stepped in the hall and she 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 of wine Somethin' to you on, what-a you think of that?" I said, "Sit down cat, up a seat, you're soakin' wet Take off your coat and hat, wipe feet on the mat"
In the back In the back 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 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 know what you guys do But I workin' so hard lately that I can only just fall asleep in bed"
So he played more sounds and grooved a while Somebody brought out cherry wine, cherry wine And we talked about what was goin' on in the world And things
The rain came 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, me what time is it? "Ah, four-thirty"
So I 'round the corner, the blind An there ya go, there's another that's comin' home from school so cool, just learned her As to Zs
And said, "Hey man, don't look All the little comin' home from school and they're sittin' and drinkin' and all them other funny things"
And Charlie said to me, "Ya what?", I said, "What?" He said, "Man, you gotta go out there and do somethin' for like you wanna make it or else you gonna be sittin' 'round 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 come that"
An' just all the time, you're gonna be out on the road I'm out on the backseat man, on the, on the And the colors are run
All of a sudden, don't ya feel the next gig, you gotta make it "I said, "Yeah I safe, I said, "Yeah, you know I can't here all the time as much as I'd like to But, I just about all day and all night"
"And dig sounds, and go to the river And once the artists go through the do my thing, aah-ah, ah-ah gotta do my thing"
In the back In the back
