In the back In the room I for you Ya for me
Rain came down, Say, what you think, raining outside, you said, "So what" You turned the player on, had a smoke, stood up across to the joint in a cloud of mist, couldn't resist
A kitty stepped in the hall and she the door Found the key in the letter box, she turned the into 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 off your coat and hat, wipe your feet on the mat"
In the back In the room I for you Ya for me

The rain outside came down like it came never Down, down, it came, rain, rain, rain And I said, "Baby what time is it, time is it, tell me what time is it? "Ah, four-thirty"
