"Moonlighting"
Misheard Lyrics:
He's digging the music
From those sweet soul bands
She keeps him out of sight
...
His blue Morris van is parked in an alley
Just by Mulligan Street
His friend's daddy heated the respray
So he couldn't drive at all last week
And it cost most of the money
That he had saved up
To pay his receipt
...
If only they knew they were giving it away
...
That Mrs. Potts' daughter is missing
...
He whispers slowly "You did this fine."
They shared the drivin' all through the night
She laughs "My mother would have lost her mind."
We're only ten miles to Brighton
And there's three hundred behind
From those sweet soul bands
She keeps him out of sight
...
His blue Morris van is parked in an alley
Just by Mulligan Street
His friend's daddy heated the respray
So he couldn't drive at all last week
And it cost most of the money
That he had saved up
To pay his receipt
...
If only they knew they were giving it away
...
That Mrs. Potts' daughter is missing
...
He whispers slowly "You did this fine."
They shared the drivin' all through the night
She laughs "My mother would have lost her mind."
We're only ten miles to Brighton
And there's three hundred behind
Original Lyrics:
Just digging the music
From those sweet soul bands
She keeps him out of fights
...
His blue Morris van is parked in an alley
Just by Montague street
His friend Eddie he did the respray
So he couldn't drive it all last week
And it cost most of the money
That he had saved up
To pay Eddie's receipt
...
If only they knew they weren't giving it away
...
That Mrs. Park's daughter is missing
...
He whispers slowly "You did just fine."
They shared the drivin' all through the night
She laughs "My mother will have lost her mind."
We're only ten miles to Gretna
They're three hundred behind
From those sweet soul bands
She keeps him out of fights
...
His blue Morris van is parked in an alley
Just by Montague street
His friend Eddie he did the respray
So he couldn't drive it all last week
And it cost most of the money
That he had saved up
To pay Eddie's receipt
...
If only they knew they weren't giving it away
...
That Mrs. Park's daughter is missing
...
He whispers slowly "You did just fine."
They shared the drivin' all through the night
She laughs "My mother will have lost her mind."
We're only ten miles to Gretna
They're three hundred behind
