If you're thinking that you might go out on the town tonight If you're lonesome and you need someone to hold you tight If you're thinking that the night life might make you feel gay Lock all the door pull down the shades help's on the way If the telephone starts ringing just let it ring And if you hear the doorbell don't say a thing Hangin' on out on the frontdoor gone for today Then lock all the door pull down the shades help's on the way Don't do nothing you might reap it later Get a goodhouse keeping magazine read Then look at my picture on the mantel It might be just the thing that you need If the sun goes down and you don't feel no better Just remember that I'm a coming home to stay But before you go to bed and cover up your head Lock all the door pull down the shades help's on the way [ guitar ] Don't do nothing you might reap it later... Well if the sun goes down and you don't feel no better...
