Doin' That Rag

Da da da da da da da da da da da

Sing in rainbow valley chasing light beams
Everything wanders from baby to Z
Baby baby pretty up on Tuesday
Old like a rum-drinking demon at tea

Baby baby tell me what's the matter
What, what tell me what's your whine now?
Tell me why will you never come home
Tell me what's your reason, if you've got a good one

Everywhere I go, the people all know
Everyone's doin' that rag
Everywhere I go, the people all know
Everyone's doin' that rag

Take my line, go fishin' for a Tuesday,
Maybe take my supper, eat it down by the sea
Gave my baby twenty or forty good reasons,
Couldn't find any better ones in the morning at three

The rain gonna come, but the rain gonna go y'know
Steppin' off sharply from the rank and file
Often cold and dark like a dungeon
Maybe get a little bit dark for the day

All these tripsters, real cool chicksters (???)
Everyone's doin' that rag
Hipsters, tripsters, real cool chicksters
Everyone's doin' that rag

You needn't gild the lily, offer jewels to the sunset
No one is watchin', a'standing in your shoes
Wash your lonely feet in the river in the morning,
Everything promised is delivered to you

Don't neglect to pick up what your share is,
All the winter birds are winging home now
Hey love go, and look around you,
Nothing out there you haven't seen before now

Wade in the water and you'll never get wet
If you keep on doin' that rag
Wade in the water and you'll never get wet
If you keep on doin' that rag

One-eyed jacks and the dueces are wild
And the aces are crawlin' up and down your sleeve
Come back here baby Louise
And tell me the name of the game that you play

Is it all fall down? Is it all go under?
Is it all fall down? Is it all go under?
Is it all fall down? Is it all go under?
Is it all fall down? Is it all go under?
Is it all fall down? Is it all go under?
Is it all fall down? Is it all go under
