R[G]obert Earl this fr[C]iend of mine

Y[G]ou know he's always l[C]ooking after my best interest

H[G]e told me Lyle P. you[C] need to get some action

G[A]et your head ba[D]ck in line

Y[B7]ou need to get out[C] on your own boy

T[B7]his hanging around her[C]e's got to stop

G[Eb]et out on your ow[D]n boy

A[Eb]nd take a little trip to t[D]he record shop

I[G] said the record shop

B[C]ut Robert I don't need no records

H[G]e just smiled and he sa[C]id

What you need is a

R[G]ecord Lady      [C]

R[G]ecord Lady      [C]

S[A]he's got the cutest little cartridge

T[D]hat you've ever seen

S[Eb]he's a phonog[D]raphic dream

I didn't waste no time about it
I put on my coat and shoes
I packed up my old rocking chair
And I left them hell on Church Street blues
And I went down to the record shop
What else could I do
She was five foot one and three quarters
Lord she claimed she was five foot two

And she looked at me with her big green eyes
And she said can I help you find something
I said what you got on special

Record Lady
Record Lady
She's got the cutest little cartridge
That you've ever seen
She's a phonographic dream

Acting very safisticated
I began to browse around
I walked up to the Record Lady
And I said I sure do like what I have found
It would be so beautiful
Please come away with me
We could run down to Istanbul
Or maybe even Gay Paris

And she looked at me with her big green eyes
She said can I help you find something
I said what you got on special

Record Lady
Record Lady
She's got the cutest little cartridge
That you've ever seen
She's a phonographic dream
A phonographic dream

One day you know I will see
My phonographic fantasy
In sweet fulfillment to the last detail
Down in Acapulco
Or even somewhere else
Just her and me together
The whole day long
Her and me together
Playing them records all night long

She's the Record Lady
Record Lady
Record Lady at the record shop
Set it spinning mama
Don't never stop my
