Lyrics
Jazzy Moon Kristjan / 2005
Well I can't find my socks
And I can't find my shoes
Got those dressing in the dark
Midnite lover kind of blues
Yeah, you know the type
What I'm talking about
Got to get out of this bedroom before
Her husband comes home and finds out
Well I stumble cross the carpet
Feeling for my pants along the floor
And I crack my shin on the table
While I'm groping for the door
Yeah but I turn that handle slowly
And open it a crack
What the Hell, I'm in the john
That ain't my shirt on this rack
Yeah but a car pulls in the driveway
And a key turns in the door
I gotta make my getaway
As she commence to snore
I'll tie these towels together
And out the window I will go
I'll drop to the pavement
She won't see me no mo'
Down the road I'll go
Fast as I am able
Hot damn, I think I left my wallet
On her bedroom table
Well don't that beat all ?
I'll have to come back soon
Another midnite lover's rendezvous
Under that old Jazzy Moon ....
