You  seem the type to follow the line
 Went from  cheery  vagabondage  to cold blooded luxury in four years
 No lick spittle  or pickthack from sycophant claw back flunky
Oh,  I want  to lay by your  side
Oh,  I will  lay by your side.
Weaker  vessel or better half?
That  woman’s  tears  must be the death of me
  oh dear
You  know when she’s had a few she’ll be onto you there’s no letting up
But,  I want  to lay by your  side
Oh,  I will  lay by your side.
It  may hap  that these  are they –  golden years
So  don’t  despair,  don’t dismay, dry  your  tears
Everything’s  for  the best  in the best of  all possible worlds
I  had a blast  off  through  the cast of a play on the radio
They  were more liberal  times
Destined  to drone  in monotone on  your radio
It’s  a little dream  of mine
But  comments  were less than complimentary
 And the deft  left hand it followed the right
I  think about  my  happiest times one of them was
Sat  in bed  watching  a documentary on murderers
A  bearcat, a memosa and view of arcady
Oh,  I want  to lay by your  side
I  will lay  down and die of  O can’t lay by your side
Oh,  but I  want to lay by  your side
Oh,  I’ll  surely lay down  and die
I  can’t lay  down and die
Oh,  I want  to lay by your  side
Oh,  I’ll  lay down and die  if I can’t lay by your side
Oh,  I want  to lay by your  side.
