Blee Blop Blues

(álbum: Vocalese - 1985)

All the night it's bli-bli-bli
'N blop-blop-blop 'n' drip, drip, drip
I'm turning the faucet off

Pretty uptight from bli-bli-bli
'N blop-blop-blop, I hate this trip
I'm turning the faucet off

That faucet's dripping

Turning the faucet off

Trying t'sleep, I need my rest
But there's no rest f'me, I guess
I'm turning the faucet off

All the night it's bli-bli-bli
'N blop-blop-blop 'n' drip, drip, drip
I'm turning the faucet off

My mind is flipping

Turning the faucet off

I'm trying my best to sleep
I'm trying without success
I tell y' it just ain't fair a faucet
Measures in this mess
That's it, I guess!

Every night I gotta git up in the middle of the gol'durn night
An' it's colder'n a Swedish well-digger's behing
But I gotta do it
Otherwise I'm outta' m'min, stone crazy

Stop the faucet from dripping
'N driving y'nuts stone nuts
It's driving you crazy
One more drip an' you'll scream

No stuff, you can look him
An' tell he has enough
Whoa-oh, lemme tell y'really
It's rough

Talking 'bout them blee blop blues

I'm hip to that drip goofing my sleep
I'm so tired o'gitting up in the night
What a catastratrose
Pride's got me feeling I'm boun't'
Behave like an oaf
I'll git me a hammer bam!
Quite the difference in the way
The faucet soun's now
I'm gonna go bam-bam-bam-bam
Bam-bam-bam on that faucet
Damn that faucet for the stupid ol'
Drip that it is I tell y'
I really am sick o'that drip
Maybe the plumber man's
Got him a better, prettier tip
About stopping that drip
But as f'now

When you be deep within y'nightly nap
An' nothing worser than a dripping tap
You try t'lay there an' preten' you deaf
But soon y' fin'ly know there aing nothing left
That you jus' cannot stand it anymore
You're hip
Drip drip drip drip
An' so y'git up an' you're half asleep
You're so disgusted that'cha wanna weep
You bump your knee while trying t'find the lamp
Your throat is dried up and y'feeling a cramp
You can't feel dum'r an' you'd like t'kill the plum'er
You envy children in summer camp

But as for now
But as for now
The dripping soun'
The dripping soun'
Has got me so I'm 'bout t'tear the pluming down
I'm 'bout t'tear the pluming down I'm talking down
Y'gotta stop
Y'gotta stop
The constant seep
The constant seep
Because it makes it real impossible t'sleep
Real impossible t'sleep, I'm talking sleep
Your plum'er goofed
So face the fact
Y' gotta use
A lot o'tact

Your plumber really gotta' straighten
Up his act
Next time you're li'ble to crack

Folks with leaky faucets
Think o'waking up millions o'times
T'stop the faucet dripping
Part o'the trouble o'living with plumbing
Is the dues a fella always pays
Adopting fancy citified ways
That's what'cha git f'living in the city
Whenever a nature lover hears your tale
You aing gonna git lots o'pity

Dig when y'r bothered by the blee bop blues
Dig this turn the faucet off'n you'll stop blues
Then dig this you won't have t'sing th'
Blee bop blues

When pipes're dripping nerves're straining
People jus' can't help complaining
Everybody really c'n dig that

Stuff that pipe

End this endless incredible gripe
End this endless gripe

That's them dues' blee blop blues
Yeah...
