Lyrics
Make a Little Room for Me
All my clothes will fit in half your closet.
My guitar will slide underneath your bed.
Have you got some extra space for a music man...
All I need is a place to crash with a roof overhead...
Find a little hospitality...
C'mon baby, can you make a little room for me?
I don't need plush accommodations...
Your hardwoods don't sound that hard to me.
I don't need much space at all to feel right at home---
If your room is small, the closer to me you'll be...
So it you've got a vacancy...
C'mon, baby, can you make a little room for me? (X2)
I don't care if your loveseat ain't sexy...
Or your panties stay on the floor all day.
We could put your favorite chair to pretty good use.
And you pussycat will miss my lap when I've gone away.
I could use your generosity...
C'mon baby, can you make a little room for me? (X2)
Bridge:
Ooh Baby, don't you want to stay up late with me...
Ooh Baby, if you want someone warm to tuck you in, well then...
You should make a little room for me...
If you're a lady with compassion,
Come meet me backstage when we're through.
If you've got no floor space for a wandering soul...
Would it be alright for just one night, if I slept with you?
If you need some TLC...
Coda
C'mon baby, can you make a little room for me?
C'mon baby, can you make a little room for me?
I need to know, can you make a little room for me...
