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 on, had a smoke, stood up Walked across to the joint in a of mist, couldn't resist
A kitty in the hall and she rapped the door Found the key in the letter box, she turned the Walked into the room and said, "What's on?"
"I just got back from down the road, I gotta couple a of wine Somethin' to turn you on, you think of that?" I said, "Sit down cat, up a seat, you're soakin' wet Take off coat and hat, wipe your feet on the mat"
In the back In the room 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 doin' the same for weeks"

So he some more sounds and grooved a while Somebody brought out cherry wine, cherry wine And we about what was goin' on in the music world And things
The rain outside came down like it came never 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 '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, look funny All the little girls comin' home from and they're sittin' Talkin' and drinkin' and all them other things"
