Paroles de Where were you baby?

Where were you baby? - (josh white)
As recorded by donmclean

I looked through every barroom
And i searched from coast to coast
You were scarce as low-cost housing
Baby when i needed you most

And where were you baby, when my heart went out?
You left me ba___by, in all this darkness and doubt

Now i peeked through fancy boudoirs
And i peeked through window grates
I only saw republicans, romancing southern states

And where were you baby, when my heart went out?
You left me ba___by, in all this darkness and doubt

Now i tried to replace you with a streetwalker named desire
But prices up so high, hell i couldn't afford to try her
It takes you my baby, baby, baby to put my body out
You left me baby, in all___ this darkness and doubt

But tonight i think i'm gonna take some good advice
I'm gonna look around and find somebody that's a really nice
Well perhaps a banker's daughter and if her papa's a cuss
Well i hope to do to her what her papa does to us

And we'll have fancy shack and a fancy cadillac
And she'll be studying to be, a nymphomaniac
And we'll have a little rye and we'll play a little gin
We'll have another rye and we'll play another gin

And then we'll have another rye just to get a little glow
Have another rye just to make the conversation flow
And then we'll have another rye and we'll play a little gin
We'll have another rye and we'll tune some music in

And then we'll have another gin.... and we'll play a little rye...
And we'll suddenly realize that we're getting kind of high
And so we'll turn the lights down low...... to keep the bulbs from getting hot

And we'll play a little game called .. "yes?"...."no!" ...
Why not?

But tonight i think i'm gonna find me something swell
So i can wake up in the morning... miserable as hell

Now when butter costs a dollar, bread costs more than cake
Come back soon cause, babe, think of what a gal like you could make
Yes come back baby, baby, baby don't ever say that we're through
Cos this time, pretty baby.. i'd like to walk right out on you!
