Tailfeather

Here we are again, standin' in the rain
Drinkin' wine and waiting for the band to play
You remember me, I'm the child of rock and roll
That's what the man from the magazine wrote

Whoa, aye yai yai ya, whoa
Aye yai yai ya, oh

There they go, listen to them blow
Playin' Elmer's tune so sweet and low
Said listen to the trumpet man and I remember him
When he used to play with Glenn, whoa

And she said, "Do you remember me?
I'm a queen of the silver screen
And you can catch my act some night
If you like to"

I said, "Wait a minute, lady, I ain't no gigolo
And you're so old, I caught you on The Late Show
Not so long ago, not so long ago
Not so long ago, not so long ago
Not so long ago"

And I look at you all wrinkled and old
And scream, "I'm only 25 years old!"
So go shake a tailfeather, drink muddy water
'Cause I wanna to go to bed with the farmer's daughter

She's fine (fine) and wholesome (wholesome)
She's fine (fine) and wholesome (wholesome)
She's one of a kind, she's fine
She's mine, she's mine

Here, here, here we are, we are again
Waiting for the plane
I'm gonna open up the show for the big name
And my telephone rang urgently
Said keep your feet down on the ground
Tonight's the night the rock and roll stars goin' down

Whoa
(Aye yai yai ya, whoa)
Aye yai yai ya, whoa
(Aye yai yai ya, whoa)
Aye yai yai ya

And you remember him
They used to call him Jim
And he had a rugged face
And played a pretty guitar
And my phone rang all night long sayin'
Sorry 'bout your friend
I said, "I hate to disappoint you
But I never even met him"

And the women cried, called me sweetie pie
She said, "Let's lay down and thank God
That you're still alive"

(Aye yai yai ya, whoa, whoo)
I said, wait a minute, baby, let's not pretend
(Aye yai yai ya, whoa, whoo)
That you just want to make yourself a legend
One more time again
(Aye yai yai ya, whoa, whoo)
One more time again
One more time again
(Aye yai yai ya, whoa, whoo)
One more time again
One more time again

And I look at you in my mundane way and say
"Hey, babe! What are you, insane?"

And go shake a tailfeather, drink muddy water
'Cause I wanna spend the night with the baker's daughter
She's fresh and fine and wholesome (wholesome)
She's fresh and fine and wholesome (wholesome)

She's out of her mind
She keeps me flyin'
She keeps me blind, blind

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Here, here we are, we are again
Waiting for the train in the rain
(Aye yai yai ya, whoa, whoo)
When some crazy Casanova screams
(Aye yai yai ya, whoa, whoo)
"The lover has returned!"

Aye yai yai ya
(Whoa, whoo)
Aye yai yai ya
Aye yai yai yai
Yai yai yai yai
Yai yai yai ya
(Whoa, whoo)

Aye yai yai ya
(Whoa, whoo)
Aye yai yai ya
Aye yai ya-a-a
(Whoa, whoo)

Aye yai yai ya
(Whoa, whoo)
Aye yai yai yai, ah
Aye yai yai yai yai
Yai yai yai yai
Yai yai yai yai ya-a-a

Aye yai yai ya
(Whoa, whoo)
Aye yai yai ya
Aye yai yai ya-a-a
(Whoa, whoo)

Aye yai yai ya
(Whoa)
Ya ya ya ya
