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 player on, had a smoke, up Walked across to the joint in a cloud of mist, couldn't
A kitty in the hall and she rapped the door Found the key in the box, she turned the door Walked into the and said, "What's goin' on?"
"I just got from down the road, I gotta couple a bottles of wine Somethin' to you on, what-a you think of that?" I said, "Sit down cat, pull up a seat, you're 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, where did we go all You to get nowhere and do nothin' but sit lookin' at each other" He said, "I know, I been doin' the thing for weeks"
I look at the 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 that I can only just fall asleep in bed"
So he played some sounds and grooved a while Somebody brought out some wine, cherry wine And we talked about what was on in the music world And other
The rain came down like it came never before Down, down, it came, rain, rain, rain And I said, "Baby what time is it, what time is it, tell me time is it? "Ah, four-thirty"
So I peeked 'round the corner, the An ya go, there's another girl that's comin' home from school Lookin' so cool, just her As to Zs
And said, "Hey man, don't look All the little girls comin' home from and they're sittin' Talkin' and drinkin' and all them other things"
And Charlie to me, "Ya know what?", I said, "What?" He said, "Man, you gotta go out and do somethin' for yourself 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 through that"
An' just through all the time, 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, ya feel safe the next gig, you gotta make it "I said, "Yeah I feel safe, I said, "Yeah, you I can't stay here all the as much 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"
