Robert Palmer Album

There's a lady in a turban
In a cocaine tree
And she does a dance so rhythmically
She's a crying and a singing
Havin' a time
But don't that cocaine tree look fine

But you gotta put on your sailin' shoes
Put on your sailin' shoes
Everyone will start to cheer
When you put on your sailin' shoes

Doctor, doctor, I feel so bad
This is the worst day I ever had
Have you this misery a very long time?
Well if you if, I'll lay it on the line

But you gotta put on your sailin' shoes
Put on your sailin' shoes
Everyone will hip hooray
When you put on your sailin' shoes

Jedidah
He's got a dime
says he catches more fish every time
Well I've gotta line
If you've got a pole
Well I'll meet you at the fishing hole

But you gotta put on your sailin' shoes
Put on your sailin' shoes
Everyone will start to cheer
When you put on your sailin' shoes

Said, everyone put on
Put on your sailin' shoes

Hey, hey julia, you're acting so peculiar
I know I'd never fool you in a million years
A horn section you resemble and your figure makes me tremble
And I sure would like to handle what's between your ears
You're a temptation to a man
I could not resist you and I won't if I can
You're so unexpected and whatever you injected made me feel how I felt when I sang

Hey, hey julia you're acting so peculiar
I know I'd never fool you in a million years
You're a strain on my eyeses and you're full of surprises
Love materializes soon as you come near.
There's a sensation you create,
Robs me of my sleep and I've forgotten the date
My head started spinning soon as you started singing
And like a fish I just rose to the bait.

Hey, hey julia with your crazy sense of humor
You turn fact into rumor soon as you come near
A horn section you resemble and your figure makes me tremble
And I sure would like to handle what's between your ears
You're a temptation to a man
I could not resist you and I won't if I can.
You're so unexpected and whatever you injected made me feel how I felt when I sang
Julia, you're a danger just like giving sweets to strangers
And I think it's time I took you in hand.

Sneakin' sally through the alley
Sneakin' sally through the alley
Sneakin' sally through the alley
Trying to keep her out of sight
Sneakin' sally through the alley
When up pops the wife

I said, ah I can't find nothing wrong with being friends cos sometimes
She lets me use the car
She said if you can't find nothing wrong with your mind
You'd better find something wrong with her, her
So I began to explain ah that it wasn't just ah what she thought
I'd better find something to do with my time
The fact is I've just been caught

Sneakin' sally through the alley
Sneakin' sally through the alley
Trying to get away clean
Sneakin' sally through the alley
When up pops the queen

Trying to double talk, get myself in trouble talk, catching myself in lies
Catching myself in lies
Mama just looked at me as if I was, ah, crazy
And didn't even bat an eye
So I began to try to explain, ah that it just wasn't what she thought
I'd better find something to do with my time
The fact is ah just been caught, just been caught,
Sneakin, sneakin, sneakin,

Trying to talk doubletalk, get myself in trouble talk
Catching myself in lies, catching myself in lies
Mama just looked at me as if I was crazy
She didn't even bat an eye

Sneakin' sally through the alley with sally
Sneakin' sally through the alley with sally
Sneakin sally through the alley
Sneakin sally through the alley
Sneakin sally through the alley

If your vision is holding you
If you can't fathom out what to do
If you can't read what you write
If you find yourself waking in the middle of the night
Get outside
Get outside
Get outside
If you can't decide what you wanna do
If you can't stand what people say to you
If you can't see when your eyes are open wide
If you ask yourself what your doing and there's no reply
Get outside
Get outside
Get outside
If you're feeling crowded or out of tune
Yeah
I've been trying to swing this cat all day
But there ain't no room to move
Get outside
Get outside
Get outside
If your vision is holding you
If you can't understand what people say to you
If you can't see when your eyes are open wide
If you ask yourself what you're doing and there's no reply
Get outside
Get outside
Get outside
Get outside
Get outside
Get outside
Get outside
Get outside
Get outside
Get outside
The situation is
Outside
Get outside
Get outside
Get outside

Well you told me that you weren't infectious
So I brought no precautions with me
And you said your old man was in texas
And anyway he'd forgotten his key
So I put my cassette in your bathroom
And threw all my clothes on your floor
Next thing, door burts open
And there I am caught in the raw
Blackmail
You're blackmailing me
Spongeing all my money
I don't think it's funny
The way you've been badgering me
So I'm hiding out in the basement
Wondering how on earth I'm gonna survive
Well your old man hollers
I've got ten thousand dollars for you
Coz I know you can provide
Leaving me with grounds for my divorce
Pulls out his chequebook and starts to endorse
Two benjamin franklins
And before I can thank you mama
? ? ? ?
Blackmail
You're blackmailing me
Rendering you a service
Makes me feel real nervous
Trying to get me into your sceams
Blackmail
You're blackmailing me
Spongeing all my money
I don't think it's funny
Way you done the dirty on me
Blackmail
You're blackmailing me
Spongeing all my money
I don't think it's funny
The way you've been badgering me
Blackmail
You're blackmailing me
Spongeing all my money
I don't think it's funny
Way you,ve done the dirty on me

You make me feel like I don't need another
Come on baby let's pull back the covers
And do our best to help one another
Find out how much fun we can get into life

You got me scorched where I'd forgotten there was fire
You got me foxed and you know I ain't a liar
Come on baby, help me try and
Find out how much fun we can get into life

Sit back, relax, we've got all night
Feel the groove, nice and smooth
Let's get it right
? ? ? ? ? ?
I know the place let's go, come on let's fly

You make me feel like I don't need another
Come on baby let's pull back the covers
And do our best to help one another
Find out how much fun we can get into life

You got me higher than I've been since I started
Couldn't want you more if I tried any harder
We could fall in love ? ? ? ?
Find out how much fun we could get into life

We got what's what
Let's make it work
Feel the beat in your seat
Don't make it jerk
Settle down, look around, there ain't no rush
There's a whole load of possibilities,
Just the two of us

You make me feel like I don't need another
Come on baby let's pull back the covers
And do our best to help one another
Find out how much fun we can get into life
Find out how much fun we can get into life
Find out how much fun we can get into life
Find out how much fun we can get into life
Find out how much fun we can get into life
Find out how much fun we can get into life
Find out how much fun we can get into life

From a whisper in the wind
To a loud scream
The message came
That I'd lost you
To the warmth of another man
I've seen more tears fall from your eyes
Than all the showers of april
I took kindness for granted
As if it came with the wallpaper
So inconsiderate of how much you cared
For some stupid reason, I just thought you had to be there
Oh my love
Oh my love
Oh my love
Oh my love
I simply must have been crazy
Or I must have been out of my mind
For me to overlook the need in you
Tell me, how could I have been so blind
Never giving thoughts to your wants and needs
Now I'm begging you please
Oh my love
Oh my love
So inconsiderate of how much you cared
For some stupid reason, I just thought you had to be there
Oh my love
Oh my love
Oh my love

You know the future will soon be past
Climb on first, get off last
I'm trying to push my stake to my hips
Where I'll feel the benefit
