Yellow Gloves - In The Snow (Ray Dorset)

 

A long long time ago in a land so far away

I met a girl so wonderful, we cruised the milky way

We kissed walked on the beach as the sun slipped out of reach

She wore a pair of Yellow Gloves as she caressed my cheek

 

Chorus

 

In the snow in the snow it was ten degrees below

She wore a pair of Yellow Gloves

She lost them in the snow

In the snow in the snow it was ten degrees below

She wore a pair of Yellow Gloves

She lost them in the snow

 

 

Summer came and went and the air was cold and fresh

The frosty trees the icy seas a wind from the North West

As snow fell all around we strolled by a frozen lake

Went back to our tiny house and made love until late

 

Chorus

 

We spoke about the past sipping Cognac by the fire

We laughed a lot we smiled a lot

Desire desire desire

Into the cold moonlight, my darling braved the night

To find those Yellow Gloves she lost but never did survive

 

Chorus

 

 

You Better Leave That Whisky Alone (Ray Dorset)

 

Well I don't know what to do about my Mummy,

'Cos she's been on the bottle all day long,

I don't know what to do about my Mummy,

'Cos she's been on the bottle all day long,

I called the doctor 'round this morning, said I give you warning,

She'd better leave that whisky alone.

 

Well now Daddy went and left us last summer,

That's when Mummy took that bottle off the shelf,

I found her on the floor, crying out for more,

She don't know what to do with herself,

I called the doctor 'round this morning, said I give you warning,

She'd better leave that whisky alone.

 

Well now Daddy went and left us last summer,

That's when Mummy took to drinking all day long,

She started on the wheat things, and went on to the sweet things,

Now she's drinking something that's real strong,

I called the doctor 'round this morning, said I give you warning,

She'd better leave that whisky alone.

 

Well, you better leave that whisky alone,

Well, she'd better leave that whisky, better leave that whisky,

Better leave that whisky alone,

I called the doctor 'round this morning, said I give you warning,

She'd better leave that whisky alone.

 

 

You Can Get It If You Want It  (Ray Dorset)

 

 

If you've seen me in the streets baby

Driving a white caddy

Drop head white balls I parked it by the alley

Eight track blasting out the latest from the big charts

Don't get mad don't you think?

 

CHORUS

You can get it if you want it

 

Sharp shirt sharp suit diamonds on my fingers

Shone shoes no blues, cologne from Paris lingers

Money roll so big the bank man blinking

Don't get mad don't you think

 

I bin to the West coast first class on a jumbo

Touch down picked up Lincoln it's a Limmo

Porter takes the baggage treats me like a king

Don't get mad don't you think

 

I aint no sinner if I go out to dinner

Don't stay thinner just cos I'm a winner

Got all the credit see you in your dreams

Don't get mad don't you think

 

 

You Don't Have To Be In The Army To Fight In The War (Ray Dorset)

 

When your girlfriend asks you 'round to her house and you meet her folks

and they say that your hair's too long and you're not their kind of bloke

they grab you by the collar and they throw you through the door:

You don't have to be in the army to fight in the war

 

Well, you're working very hard to get promotion in your job

but arrive late on morning just because you mist the bus

the foreman say "you're fired, 'cause you punctuality spoor"

You don't have to be in the army to fight in the war

 

Then you go into a hotel to get put up for the night

and they say that you can't stay there just because your shirt aint white

you're tired and you hungry and you cannot walk no more

You don't have to be in the army to fight in the war

 

Ain't no money, ain't no woman ain't no roof above your head

so you lay down in the park and you wish that you were dead

the fuzz says you are trespassing and kicks you in the jaw

You don't have to be in the army to fight in the war

 

The fuzz says you are trespassing and kicks you in the jaw

You don't have to be in the army to fight in the war

 

You don't have to be in the army to fight in the war

You don't have to be in the army to fight in the war

You don't have to be ...........etc. fade out.
