Flyswatter/ice Water Blues Lyrics - Lovett Lyle

Honey put down that flyswatter 

And pour me some ice water 

And would you bring me my hammer 

And could you find me some nails 

For soon I'll be going 

To work for this living 

And with you here to guide me 

Then I cannot fail 

The morning it stumbles 

Right in through the window 

And this getting up early 

Gets old anyway 

And if you listen close dear 

The crying that you hear 

Is the nighttime lamenting 

The start of the day 

And it's hotter than concrete 

In July in Houston 

And it'll get worse here 

Before it turns nice 

But old Tink's in the backyard 

And I swear that boy's so smart 

He's got everything ready 

So we'll be all right 

So honey put down that flyswatter 

And pour me some ice water 

And though I'll soon be going 

Well I haven't gone yet 

So come stand here beside me 

And hold my hand gently 

And tell me do you remember 

The first time we met
