Rober Earl this friend of mine
|
You know he's always looking after my best interest
|
He told me Lyle P. you need to get some action
|
Get your head back in line
|
You need to get out on your own boy
|
This hanging around here's got to stop
|
Get out on your own boy
|
And take a little trip to the record shop
|
|
I said the record shop
|
But Robert I don't need no records
|
He just smiled and he said
|
What you need is a
|
|
Record Lady
|
Record Lady
|
She's got the cutest little cartridge
|
That you've ever seen
|
She's a phonographic dream
|
|
I didn't waste no time about it
|
I put on my coat and shoes
|
I packed up my old rocking chair
|
And I left them hell on Church Street blues
|
And I went down to the record shop
|
What else could I do
|
She was five-foot-one-and-three-quarters
|
Lord she claimed she five-foot-two
|
|
And she looked at me with her big green eyes
|
And she said can I help you find something
|
I said what you got on special
|
|
Record Lady
|
Record Lady
|
She's got the cutest little cartridge
|
That you've ever seen
|
She's a phonographic dream
|
|
Acting very sophisticated
|
I began to browse around
|
I walked up to the record lady
|
And I said I sure do like what I have found
|
It would be so beautiful
|
Please come away with me
|
We could run down to Istanbul
|
Or maybe even gay Paris
|
|
And she looked at me with her big green eyes
|
And she said can I help you find something
|
I said what you got on special
|
|
Record Lady
|
Record Lady
|
She's got the cutest little cartridge
|
That you've ever seen
|
She's a phonographic dream
|
A phonographic dream
|
|
One day you know I will see
|
My phonographic fantasy
|
In sweet fulfillment to the last detail
|
Down in Acapulco
|
Or even somewhere else
|
Just her and me together
|
The whole day long
|
Her and me together
|
Playing them records all night long
|
|
She's the Record Lady
|
Record Lady
|
Record Lady at the record shop
|
Set it spinning mama
|
Don't ever stop my
|
Record Lady
