Tonic Sol-fa Ready-made
Verse
A cigarette
A telephone
And one more day
I’ve been driving ’cross the country just looking for a place to stay
In thirty words or less I’m a tall, dark bass-man,
Ready-made
Chorus 1
I got love, I got the moves
I got the shake, shimmy, guarantee to chase away your blues
Call me up anytime
You can tell me all your problems, girl
As long as it’s on your dime
Verse
In the East
And in the West
I am known
Girls from every corner tryin’ to ring me up on the phone
Well I don’t have nothing, but I’ll give you everything that I own
Chorus 2
I got love, I got the moves
I got the shake, shimmy, guarantee to chase away your blues
Call me up, honey-do
We can take a trip to Bali, girl
I’ll send the bill to you
Verse
Down the road
Here I go
One more day
Got a pocket full of quarters and a long, cool lemonade
If you’re ever feelin’ lonely call me three times everyday
Chorus 3
I got love, I got the moves
I got the shake, shimmy, guarantee to chase away your blues
Call me up, anytime
You can leave me a message
And I’ll call you back by…
Verse
Christmastime
My favorite time
Of the year
Yeah, Santa Claus is worried now cuz all of his mail comes here
And I went to see the doc but he said “sorry son”
There’s no cure
Tag
Give me hal-an-hour to…shoo-bi-di-bop
And I’ll be on my way
You won’t need to fix me up
I come Ready-made
