blee blop blues
manhattan transfer, the
all the night it's bli-bli-bli
'n blop-blop-blop 'n' drip
i'm turnin' the faucet off
pretty uptight from bli-bli-bli
i'm turnin' the faucet off
i'm turnin' the faucet off
all the night it's bli-bli-bli
'n blop-blop-blop 'n' drip
i'm turnin' the faucet off
i'm tryin' my best to sleep
i'm tryin' without success
i tell y' it just ain't fair a faucet
every night i gotta git up in the middle of the gol'durn night
an' it's colder'n a swedish well-digger's behin'
otherwise i'm outta' m'min
stop the faucet from drippin'
'n drivin' y'nuts - stone nuts
one more drip an' you'll scream
talkin' 'bout them blee blop blues
i'm hip to that drip goofin' my sleep
i'm so tired o'gittin' up in the night
pride's got me feelin' i'm boun't'
i'll git me a hammer - bam!
quite the difference in the way
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
when you be deep within y'nightly nap
an' nothin' worser than a drippin' tap
you try t'lay there an' preten' you deaf
but soon y' fin'ly know there ain' nothin' left
that you jus' cannot stand it anymore
an' so y'git up an' you're half asleep
you're so disgusted that'cha wanna weep
you bump your knee while tryin' t'find the lamp
your throat is dried up and y'feelin' a cramp
you can't feel dum'r an' you'd like t'kill the plum'er
you envy children in summer camp
has got me so i'm 'bout t'tear the plumin' down
i'm 'bout t'tear the plumin' down i'm talkin' down
because it makes it real impossible t'sleep
your plumber really gotta' straighten
next time you're li'ble to crack
think o'wakin' up millions o'times
t'stop the faucet drippin'
part o'the trouble o'livin' with plumbin'
is the dues a fella always pays
adoptin' fancy citified ways
that's what'cha git f'livin' in the city
whenever a nature lover hears your tale
you ain' 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'
when pipes're drippin' nerves're strainin'
people jus' can't help complainin'
everybody really c'n dig that
end this endless incredible gripe
that's them dues' - blee blop blues
