You gotta, uh, can I say somethin'?
Well, uh, you got to step this up a little bit, you know?
Come up, see?
(How the drums sound to you, Walter?)
Sounds alright
See, one thing, I don't mean to-
I like to try to show people and tell 'em
But I don't mean to be bossy, you know?
I want the guy to be-
See, when they would say, uh, "Let's come on a calypso beat"
Bom bom ba dom dom da da da da da, see, like that?
Da dom da dom dom da da da da da, you know?
Like that jungle stuff, you know?
Bongo beats, somethin' like that, you know what I mean?
He beatin' alright, but you know, you got a-
Bongo beat, bom bom ba dom dom, you know?
But he's uh, but that's, that's, that's, uh, his, you know
His own suggestion for what he thinks should be, you know, see?
Just like you playin' a guitar, what you think should fit it
Then, uh, maybe somebody else got some
Better ideas, you know what I mean?
See, then he stops, see?
See, he put a stop in there
He stop, he stop, you know what I mean?
He don't just go, "Boo dom ba dom dom bow"
And, "Do doo do doo doo doo boom", you know what I mean?
My baby caught the train, longer than my right arm
Hold it, hold it
Oh, I messed up myself, shit, alright
My baby caught the train, left me all alone
My baby caught the train, left me all alone
She know I love her, but she doing me wrong
My baby bought a ticket, longer than my right arm
My baby bought a ticket, longer than my right arm
She said she gonna ride, long as I've been from home
Who been talkin', tellin' everything I do?
Well, who been talkin', tellin' everything I do?
Well, you is my baby, I hate to lose
Well, goodbye, baby, hate to see you go
Well, goodbye, baby, hate to see you go
You know I love you, I'm the causin' of it all
I'm the causin' of it all
