Sister Ray



Duck and Sally inside
they're cooking for the down five
Who's staring at Miss Rayon
who's busy licking up her pig pen
I'm searching for my mainline
I said I couldn't hit it sideways
I said I couldn't hit it sideways
oh, just like Sister Ray said
whip it on

Rosie and Miss Rayon
they're busy waiting for her booster
Who just got back from Carolina
she said she didn't like the weather
They're busy waiting for her sailor
who's drinking dressed in pink and leather
He's just here from Alabama
he wants to know a way to earn a dollar
I'm searching for my mainer
I said I couldn't hit it sideways
I couldn't hit it sideways
oh, just like Sister Ray said
play it on

Cecil's got his new piece
he cocks and shoots it between three and four
He aims it at the sailor
shoots him down dead on the floor
Oh, you shouldn't do that
don't you know you'll stain the carpet
Now don't you know you'll stain the carpet
and by the way, have you got a dollar
Oh, no man, I haven't got the time-time
too busy sucking on a ding-dong
She's busy sucking on my ding-dong
oh, she does just like Sister Ray said
I'm searching for my mainline
I said I c-c-c-couldn't hit it sideways
I c-c-c-c-c-couldn't hit it sideways
oh, do it, do it
oh, just-just-just-just-just, just like Sister Ray said ...
Oh

Now who is that knocking
who's knocking at my chamber door
Now could it be the police
they come and take me for a ride-ride
Oh, but I haven't got the time-time
hey-hey-hey, she's busy sucking on my ding-dong
She's busy sucking on my ding-dong
oh, now do it just like Sister Ray said
I'm searching for my mainline
I couldn't hit it sideways
I couldn't hit it sideways
oh, now just like, oh, just like
Oh, just like, oh, just like
oh, just like, oh, just like

Duck and Sally inside, now move it on
cooking for the down five
Who's staring at Miss Rayon
do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, hey
licking up her pig pen
I'm s-s-s-searching for my mainline
I couldn't hit it sideways
I couldn't hit it sideways
Just like, oh, just like, do it, do it, do it
just like, just like, hey, just like

Now Rosie and Miss Rayon
they're busy waiting for her booster

She's just back from Carolina
she said she bound be a sailor

I said she haven't got the time-time
you're busy sucking on my ding-dong

You're busy sucking on my ding-dong
now just like Sister Ray said

I'm searching for my mainline
I said that couldn't hit it sideways
Whip it on me Jim, whip it on me Jim
whip it on me Jim, whip it on me Jim

Said that couldn't hit it sideways, oh, do it
now just like, just like Sister Ray said

I said now Cecil's got his new piece
he cocks and shoots it bang between three and four

He aims it at the sailor
he shoots him down dead on the floor

Oh, you shouldn't do that
don't you know you'll rip the carpet
don't you know you'll mess the carpet

Oh, she hasn't got the time-time
busy sucking on the ding-dong
She's busy sucking on ding-dong
now just like Sister Ray said

I'm searching for my mainline
Couldn't hit it sideways
Couldn't hit it sideways
Now just like, now just like
now just like, yeah, Sister Ray said, hey, do it, do it

Duck and Sally inside
they're busy cooking for the down five, ah

I said I couldn't hit it sideways
I said I couldn't hit it sideways
now just like
Now just like
