lyrics

CHINATOWN

The unlikely fire on the ledge and the room swam with candles
The wine had gone straight to your head, you said I don’t understand you
When you said that, did you mean to suggest
I might like that, with your head on my breast?

Squall at the window and the snow piling forty feet deep
I can dig myself home on my own unless you’d care to sleep
Together for the rest of the night
Together for the rest of our lives

Yodelady
Little lady I do
Yodelady
Little lady I do

The fireworks down in Chinatown
Little busted lives across the ground
You could light the night sky, you could howl down the moon
You could blow it all just looking if you don’t have clue

Yodelady
Little lady I do
Yodelady
Little lady I do

The tea kettle screamed and the Joe Henry streamed from the kitchen
We swung like a gate and we locked and we knocked like an engine
Together for the rest of the night
Together for the rest of our lives
Together by the unlikely light
Together like I told you that night

Yodelady
Little lady I do
Yodelady
Little lady I do
