Lyrics for Sister Ray
Duck and Sally inside They're cooking for the down pipe Who're staring at Miss Rayon Who's busy licking up her pig pen I'm searching for my mainline I said I couldn't hit it sideways I said I couldn't hit it sideways Oh, just like Sister Ray said Whip it on 'em Rosey and Miss Rayon They're busy waiting for her booster Who just got back from Carolina She said she didn't like the weather They're busy waiting for her sailor Who says he's just as big as ever He says he's from Alabama He wants to know a way to earn a dollar I'm searching for my mainer I said I couldn't hit it sideways I couldn't hit it sideways Oh, just like Sister Ray said Lay it on 'em Cecil's got his new piece He cocks and shoots it between three and four He aims it at the sailor Shoots him down dead on the floor Oh, you shouldn't do that Don't you know you'll stain the carpet? Now don't you know you'll stain the carpet? And by the way, have you got a dollar? Oh, no, man, I haven't got the time, time Too busy sucking on a ding-dong She's busy sucking on my ding-dong Oh, she does just like Sister Ray said I'm searching for my mainline I said I cou-cou-couldn't hit it sideways I cou-cou-cou-cou-cou-cou-cou-cou-cou-couldn't hit it sideways Oh just, just, it just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just Ray's all on 'em Oh! Now, who is that knocking? Who's knocking at that chamber door? Now could it be the police? They come to take me for a ride, ride Oh, but I haven't got the time, time Hey, hey, hey she's busy sucking on my ding-dong She's busy sucking on my ding-dong Oh, now, do it just like Sister Ray said I'm searching for my mainline I couldn't hit it sideways I couldn't hit it sideways Oh, now just like Oh, just like Oh, just like Oh, just like Oh, just like Oh, just like Doc and sally inside, now move it along!
