The Early Years

Mamas in the kitchen, daddies on the phone
And nobody knows what's going on
But i've got those
So long i'll see you cause my buick's outside waiting blues

Well one for the money, two for the show
Three to get ready, tom's gotta go
He's got them
So long i'll see you cause my buick's outside waiting blues

Well bye-bye-bye, well bye-bye-bye
Sing bye-bye shooby-do-bye-bye
Gotta skeet-skat outta here, skeet-skat outta here

And mamas in the kitchen, daddies on the phone
And nobody knows what's going on
But i've got those
So long i'll see you cause my buick's outside waiting blues

Well tommy's gotta skeet-skat, skeet-skat outta here
Skeet-skat right outta here
And one for the money, two for the show

Well it's a quarter a two
And looking at you
And going down, going down slow
Well it's a quarter a two
And looking at you
And going down, going down slow

Tv went off about one, we have only begun
I know that the wednesday may come
But i have no intention of going home

Well it's a quarter a three
Digging on me
And going down, going down slow

Could stay here all night,
They claim your outta sight
Please get up and turn out the light
There ain't nothing better than the middle of the night

And it's a quarter a four
Begging for more
And going down, going down slow
Going down, going down slow
Going down, going down slow
Going down, going down slow

That woman will take you, that woman will break you
That woman will make you something you've never seen
That woman's got claws, that woman's got laws
Now look out man, you're gonna loose your mind

I had a friend, his name was frank
He walked on the water and lord he sank
We used to go stag, now he's got a hag
It looks like frank's got a new bag

That woman will take you, that woman will break you
That woman will make you something you've never seen
That woman's got claws, that woman's got laws
Now look out frank, you're gonna loose your mind

What happened to frank, can happen to you
Just find you a woman and watch what she'll do
That woman will take you, that woman's gonna break you
Look out man you're gonna loose, you're gonna loose your mind

Little trip to heaven on the wings of your love
Banana moon is shining in the sky
I feel like i'm in heaven when your with me
I know that i'm in heaven when you smile
Though were stuck here on the ground
I got something that i've found, and it's you

I don't need to take no trip to outer space
All i have to do is look in your face
And before i know it i'm in orbit around you
Thanking my lucky stars that i found you
When i see your constellation, your my inspiration
And it's you

Your my north star when i'm lost and feeling blue
Your my sun that's breaking through, it's true
And all the other stars seem dim around you
I thank my lucky stars that i found you
When i see your smilin face
I know nothing' gonna take your place
And it's you, and it's you, and it's you,
And it's you, and it's you, and it's you

Well i'm sittin' right here in my rockin chair
Running my fingers right through my hair
Fire is flicken with a yellow and gold
Makin me quiver in the snowy cold
Got a lazy old woman
Screaming bout my money
She took every cent
And she didn't leave me any

Times were never so good, got a fly for food
Got no woman to spend my money
Well she blew and took all my money

So i'm sittin' right here in my rockin chair
Running my fingers right through my hair
Spider caught the fly in his web
Do believe he may be dead

Times were never so good, got a fly for food
Got no woman to spend my money
Well she blew and took all my money

Well i'm sittin' and i'm sittin' and i'm sittin' right here
In my rockin chair
Watchin' my old dog loosing his hair

I'll be clickin' by your house about two forty-five
Sidewalk sundae strawberry surprise,
I got a cherry popsicle right on time
A big stick, mamma, that'll blow your mind

'cause i'm the ice cream man,
I'm a one-man band (yeah)
I'm the ice cream man, honey,
I'll be good to you.

Baby, missed me in the alley, baby, don't you fret
Come back around and don't forget,
When you're tired and you're hungry
And you want something cool,
Got something better than a swimming pool

'cause i'm the ice cream man,
I'm a one-man band
I'm the ice cream man, honey,
I'll be good to you.
'cause i'm the ice cream man,
I'm a one-man band
I'm the ice cream man, honey,
I'll be good to you.

See me coming, you ain't got no change
Don't worry baby, it can be arranged:
Show me you can smile, baby just for me
Fix you with a drumstick, i'll do it for free

'cause i'm the ice cream man, i'm a one-man band
I'm the ice cream man, honey, i'll be good to you.
Be good to you, be good to you,
Good to you yeah, good to you yeah,
Good to you yeah, good to you yeah,
Good to you yeah, good to you,
'll be good to you, i'll be good to you...

Well when you ain't got nobody, anybody looks nice
Don't take much to make you stop and look twice
And it's either feast or famine, i've found out that it's true
And i'm hungry as a bull dog, baby how about you

And when you ain't got no big mama, all the mamas look hot
And when lovin' is you weakness, your just bound to get caught
And the story never changes, history tells it so plain
And i'll be your dick, honey, if you'll just be my jane

And when you ain't got nobody, anybody looks nice
It don't take much to make you stop and look twice
And it's either feast or famine, i've found out that it's true
And i'm hungry as a bull dog, baby how about you, baby how about you
