One Of These Days

(album: Tell Me Something: The Songs Of Mose Allison - 1996)

One of these days I've got to get things right
I'm gonna do my business in th' daylight
One of these days you know I've got to get things right
I'm gonna do my business out in the broad daylight

One of these days I've got to get things straight
I'm gonna stop acting like a reprobate
One of these days you know I've got to get things straight
I'm gonna stop staying out late
And acting like a reprobate

One of these days I've got to get in step
It won't be long 'fore I'll be needing help
One of these days you know I've got to get in step
The way I'm going baby I'll be needing help

One of these days I've got to go back home
Sit out on my front porch and compose a poem
One of these days you know I've got to go back home
I'm gonna sit out on my front porch, rock away compose a poem
