In the back In the back I for you Ya for me
Rain 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 of mist, couldn't resist
A stepped in the hall and she rapped the door Found the key in the letter box, she the door Walked into the room and said, "What's on?"
"I got back from down the road, I gotta couple a bottles of wine to turn you on, what-a you think of that?" I said, "Sit down cat, up a seat, you're soakin' wet Take off your coat and hat, your 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 doin' the thing for weeks"
I at the clock and all of a sudden I'm hypnotized It speaks to me, it goes, "Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock", The kid he said, "I know what you guys do But I been workin' so hard lately that I can only just fall in bed"
So he played some more sounds and grooved a Somebody out some cherry wine, cherry wine And we talked about what was on in the music world And things
The rain outside came like it came never before Down, came down, it came, rain, rain, And I said, "Baby what time is it, what time is it, me what time is it? "Ah, four-thirty"
So I peeked the corner, the blind An there ya go, there's another girl comin' home from school Lookin' so cool, just her As to Zs
And said, "Hey man, don't funny All the little girls comin' home from school and they're Talkin' and drinkin' and all them other things"
And Charlie to me, "Ya know what?", I said, "What?" He said, "Man, you go out there and do somethin' for yourself Feel like you wanna 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, cuttin' records, cuttin' records right 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 are gonna run
All of a sudden, don't ya safe the next gig, you gotta make it "I said, "Yeah I safe, I said, "Yeah, you know I can't stay here all the time as 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 the motions Gotta do my thing, aah-ah, ah-ah do my thing"
