came down, pitter-pat Say, what you think, it's outside, you said, "So what" You turned the player on, had a smoke, stood up Walked across to the in a cloud of mist, couldn't resist
A stepped in the hall and she rapped the door Found the key in the letter box, she the door Walked into the room and said, "What's on?"
"I just got back from down the road, I couple a bottles of wine Somethin' to turn you on, what-a you of that?" I said, "Sit cat, pull up a seat, you're soakin' wet Take off your coat and hat, wipe feet on the mat"

So he played some more sounds and grooved a Somebody brought out some cherry wine, cherry And we talked about what was goin' on in the music And other
The outside came down like it came never before Down, came down, it came, rain, rain, And I said, "Baby what is it, what time is it, tell me what time is it? "Ah, four-thirty"
