Isaac Hayes

Gabby Hayes, well

Willie Mays

Helen Hayes

Speakin' of Helen


Well it's gettin' near dark

When the lights be closin' your tired little eyes

I'll soon be with you, my love

And give you that potato-headed surprise


Stay with you darlin'

Soon

I'll stay with you till all o' 'em stars start to fallin'

And fallin'


Ah! I've been waiting so long

(Ay! A-ha!)

Oh to be where I'm goin'

(Arriba! Arriba! Ay!)

In the sunshine of your love


Now hold down just a second, there

You leather-faced metal freak

And you potato-headed watcha'ma'callit!

(You talkin' to us now, son?)

Yeah, you bet I'm talkin' to you

I got something to say right here

(Ain't you the man in black?)

(sucker!)

Just get yourself ready

It's getting near dark

The light's shinin' through on you

I'll soon be with you, my love

(Whom love?)

It's the morning and just we two

I'll be with you darling soon

I'll be with ya when the sea's all dried up!

(The seas?)

The seas

(You're talkin' dried up?)

I'll seize ya, buddy

Oh! Wait a minute here!

You shit kicker!

I said

I been waiting so long

To be where I'm going

(Andale! Andale! Anda!)

In the sunshine of your love!
