In the back In the back 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 across to the joint in a cloud of mist, couldn't resist
A kitty in the hall and she rapped 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 the road, I gotta couple a bottles of wine to turn you on, what-a you think of that?" I said, "Sit down cat, pull up a seat, 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 but sit lookin' 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 been workin' so hard lately that I can only 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 music And things
The rain outside came 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 the corner, the blind An there ya go, there's another that's comin' home from school Lookin' so cool, learned her As to Zs
And said, "Hey man, look funny All the girls comin' home from school and they're sittin' Talkin' and drinkin' and all them funny things"
And said to me, "Ya know what?", I said, "What?" He said, "Man, you gotta go out and do somethin' for yourself Feel like you wanna make it or else you gonna be sittin' 'round nothin' "
I said, "You're right, I said, "You're so right" He said, "I know", I said, "Do ya?" Said, "You know, cuttin' records, cuttin' records right You come that"
An' just through all the time, you're gonna be out on the I'm out on the man, on the, on the highway And the are gonna run
All of a sudden, don't ya feel safe the gig, you gotta make it "I said, "Yeah I feel safe, I said, "Yeah, you I stay 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 down to the And once the artists go through the Gotta do my thing, aah-ah, ah-ah do my thing"
