[Verse 1] Slipping away, what can I say? Won't you stay inside me, month of May? And hold on to me, golden days, slipping away [Bridge] Sunshine on my wall To keep my mind on the things I'm saying Footsteps in the hall To tell me I've been this way before Nevermore [Verse 2] Let it rain, sweet Mary Jane Let it wash your love down all around me Come inside and put it down, let it rain [Verse 3] I've been trying hard to find A way to let you know That we can make it shine most all the time This time 'round, I'm searching down To where I used to go And it's been on my mind to make it shine [Chorus] You can say I wanna be free I can say someday I will be [Chorus] You can say I wanna be free I can say someday I will be [Verse 4] When I catch a common cold Wanna hear a saxophone When I let the good times roll, baby Slide me a bass trombone Walk me down old Funky Street Lord knows, I feel good enough to eat, now Hold my soul, now, I'm sure 'nough fond Of my rock 'n roll [Verse 5] When I go to sleep at night Wanna hear a slide guitar When I'm feeling loose and right, go Riding in my automobile Boney Maroney and Peggy Sue Got the rocking pneumonia Got the boogie-woogie flu, baby Hold my soul, said I'm sure 'nough fond Of my rock 'n roll [Outro] Good God Looky here, looky here! Woo! Ooh-ooh-ooh Go home now, Joe Ooh, yeah Oh, you're cookin'!
