Where Were You - (Josh White) As by DonMclean
I looked through every And I searched from to coast You were as low-cost housing Baby I needed you most
And where were you baby, when my went out? You me ba___by, in all this darkness and doubt
Now I peeked through boudoirs And I peeked through grates I saw Republicans, romancing Southern states
And where were you baby, when my heart out? You left me ba___by, in all this darkness and
Now I tried to replace you with a streetwalker Desire But prices up so high, I couldn't afford to try her It you my baby, baby, baby to put my body out You left me baby, in this darkness and doubt
But I think I'm gonna take some good advice I'm gonna look around and find that's a really nice perhaps a banker's daughter and if her Papa's a cuss Well I hope to do to her what her does to us
And have fancy shack and a fancy Cadillac And she'll be studying to be, a And we'll a little rye and we'll play a little gin We'll have another rye and play another gin
And then we'll have another rye just to get a little Have another rye just to make the flow And then we'll have another rye and play a little gin We'll have another rye and tune some music in
And then have another gin.... and we'll play a little rye... And suddenly realize that we're getting kind of high And so we'll turn the lights down low...... to keep the bulbs getting hot
And we'll play a little game .. "Yes?"...."No!" ... Why
But I think I'm gonna find me something swell So I can wake up in the morning... as hell
Now when butter costs a dollar, costs more than cake Come soon cause, babe, think of what a gal like you could make Yes come back baby, baby, baby ever say that we're through Cos this time, pretty baby.. I'd to walk right out on you!
