Yeah, I take my baby down the street
And I buy him a soda pop
He's so sweet
Alright now
Alright now
Alright now
You said that if you want I'll be the one
Take you out and have some fun
I'll never never ever ever tell no one
Til the end to the morning comes
Yeah, I take my baby down to the corner
And I buy him a soda pop
Mmmhmm
Alright now
Alright now
Alright now
Alright now
If you want I'll be the one
Take you out and have some fun
Flip a coin for the toss
I like mine with applesauce
Yeah, I take my baby down to the corner
And I buy him a soda pop
Cuz he's so neat, sweet
Alright now
Alright now
Alright now
Okay now
If you want I'll be the one
Shake my legs and have some fun
My heart spins around like a washing machine
Never saw the devil look so damn clean
Yeah, I take my baby down to the corner
And I buy him a soda pop
And he says: Honey, you look so fine
And I say: Okay, alright
Okay
Alright
I was walking up Lafayette Street
It was real empty
And I looked up, and it turned into a big field
And I looked up in the sky
And I looked up in the clouds
And I saw this face lookin' down at me
And it was a woman's face
And she threw a quarter down at me
And she said: Honey, here's a quarter
Go put it in a washing machine
And then I looked up at her
I looked up
