In the back In the room I for you Ya for me
Rain down, pitter-pat Say, what you think, raining outside, you said, "So what" You the record player on, had a smoke, stood up Walked across to the joint in a cloud of mist, couldn't
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 just got back from the road, I gotta couple a bottles of wine Somethin' to turn you on, what-a you of that?" I said, "Sit cat, pull up a seat, you're soakin' wet Take off your coat and hat, your feet on the mat"
In the back In the room I for you Ya for me
