You seem the types who follow the line Went from cheery vagabondage To cold blooded luxury in four years No lick spittle or pick thack From sycophant claw back flunky Oh, I want to lay by your side Oh, I will lay down and die if I can't lay by your side Weakened vessel or better half? That woman's tears Could be the d**h of me, oh dear You know when she's had a few She'll be onto you, there's no letting up But, I want to lay by your side Oh, I will lay down and die if I can't lay by your side It may happen too easily, the golden years So don't despair, don't dismay dry your tears Everything is for the best in the best of all possible worlds I, I had a blast off with the cast of a play on the radio They were more liberal times Destined to drone in monotone on your radio It's a little dream of mine Oh, but comments were less than complimentary And the deft left hand it followed the right I think about my happiest times And one of them was, sat in bed Watching a documentary on murderers A bear cat, a mimosa and a view of arcady Well, I want to lay by your side Oh, I will surely lay down and die if I can't lay by your side I want to lay by your side Oh, I'll surely lay down and die if I can't lay by your side Oh, I want to lay by your side Oh, I will lay down and die if I can't lay by your side I want to lay by your side
