Leave The Lights On Lyrics by John Prine

Leave The Lights On Lyrics

    Feeling kind of bony
    On the telephoney
    Talking to marconi
    Eating rice-a-roni
    Nominated for a tony
    For acting like a phoney
    Watching twilight zoney
    On my forty-two inch sony
    This is just a long song
    It ain't no poem
    Leave the lights on till your baby gets home

    It's like sitting in the kitchen
    When the music's really bitchin'
    Your nose it starts to itchin'
    As you count your old age pension
    Did i forget to mention
    The ride that i was hitchin'
    To the aluminum convention
    I had such good intention
    Keep your cotton pickin' fingers off
    My song poem
    And leave the lights on till your baby gets home

    Leave the lights on till your baby gets home
    Leave the lights on till your baby gets home
    Don't forget your toothbrush
    Your hairbrush and your comb
    Leave the lights on till your baby gets home
    Got a big ol' dog
    A chrome crowbar
    I keep that mother humper in the back seat of my car

    Me and billy shakespeare
    Stepped out to get a root beer
    We sat together so near
    People thought we were queer
    Punctuated by the big scare
    We joined the air force right there
    To defend our country first class
    Who couldn't give a rat's ass
    Don't you tell me that the white house is my home
    Leave the lights on till your baby gets home
    Leave the lights on till your baby gets home
    Leave the lights on till your baby gets home
    Don't forget your toothbrush
    Your hairbrush and your comb
    Leave the lights on till your baby gets home
    Got a big ol' dog
    A big iron bar
    I keep that mother humper in the back seat of my car
    It's like kissing greta garbo with a mouth full of marbles
    Like trying to cash a paycheck in the middle of a train wreck
    Leave the lights on
    Leave the lights on

    Like trying to get aroundo in a carmade of bondo
    Like speaking german lingo to a dog named dingo - plotz!!
    Leave the lights on
    Leave the lights on

    Like a french fried quesadilla
    In a franchised pizzeria
    Leave the lights on
    Leave the lights on

    A big iron bar
    I keep that mother humper in the back seat of my car.
