13th day of August '54 I was five years old
|
Depending where you're counting from
|
Ma didn't tell me what was going abroad
|
No tales of things to come
|
Daddy, daddy come home in the evening with the burdens of the day
|
Pat Boone might come along and take Daddy's blues away
|
Ma might take Daddy's head into her hands
|
Soothe awhile, soothe awhile, touch the boy inside the man
|
Beneath her skirts, between the clean, white sheets
|
It's such a long, long way From the street
|
Beneath her skirts, between the clean, white sheets
|
It's such a long, long way From the street
|
No, no, no Miss Debbie Reynolds promised someone out there always to obey
|
Sugar, sugar, white, clean and neat
|
And there was no one better qualified to cry awhile, cry awhile
|
Not quite like Mr Johnny Ray
|
Mmm Sugar, sugar, white, clean and neat
|
Sugar, sugar, white, clean and neat
|
Beneath her skirts, between the clean, white sheets
|
It's such a long, long way From the street
|
Beneath her skirts, between the clean, white sheets
|
It's such, it's such, it's such a long, long, long, long way
|
I said it's such a long way From the street
|
[If you like the blues I think we can ...
|
Home life, wife and children, a community life centred around the church,
|
things on which ... basis ... Baby, don't you want me no more?
|
.... .. teenagers find an idol, they usually emulate what they know of his habits.
|
Bring it on home, Daddy!]
|
Don't you want me no more? Talk to me Oh, yeah
|
Down at the juke joint, back at the drive-in movie show
|
Moondog made one more white boy sanctified
|
Out on the streets, the red hot streets, old heroes fell
|
And I screamed my name with pride
|
Beneath her skirts, between the clean, white sheets
|
It's such, it's such, it's such a long way, it's such a long way
|
It's such a long, long way From the street
|
Beneath her skirts, between the clean, white sheets
|
It's such, it's such, it's such a long, long, long, long way From the street Ooh, let's go
|
[Singer, Johnny Ray. Trademark, a ...]
|
Hey, baby [Listen to Ray .. . His long string of best selling records.
|
Watch this human stick of dynamite reduce himself and the audience to limp rags,
|
in a pulsating, motion packed, jazz laden half hour. How high can you get?]
|
Don't you want me baby?
|
[Cool, crazy and superb, sincerely yours ... They're married to stay, ...
|
Debbie Reynolds film star Eddie Fisher disks, that's how it's bin'.
|
Now Debbie has scaled the hit parade ... with a song in the top 10.]
|
Don't you want me no more? [.. turning out a film.
|
Bring it on home, Daddy!] Little girl, little girl, little girl
|
Baby, baby, since I've been loving you Ha,
|
I'm about to lose [Bring it on home, Daddy]
|
I'm about to lose [You make me want to jump and shout, baby.]
