Ida Lee

They're throwin' a party

For big Ida Lee

The man from the skyway

The Chinaman and me

There's so much affection

It's making me crazy

I've run out of reasons

For keeping it neat

Everybody's laughin'

Everybody's makin' love

Ida Lee

It's you I'm thinkin' of

Threw out the favours

The hooters and the hats

Put out the candle

And blew out the cat

My temperature's rising

We're all on the chaise lounge now

Big Ida Lee

She's nowhere to be found



They open the air shaft

As Ida walks in

She comes up to me and whispers

Honey, where have you been?

I'm stripping my gears

I'm blowing my fuse

'Cause Ida Lee's giving me somewhat more than I can use
