RECORD LADY by Lyle Lovett
[G]Robert Earl this [C]friend of mine
You know he's a[G]lways looking after [C]my best interest
He told me[G] Lyle P. you need to[C] get some action
[A]Get your head [D]back in line
You need to[B7] get out on your [C]own boy
This h[B7]anging around here's [C]got to stop
[Eb]Get out on your [D]own boy
And [Eb]take a little trip to the[D] record shop
[G]I said the record shop
But Robert [C]I don't need no records
[G]He just smiled and he [C]said
What you need is a
[G] [C]
[G] [C]
She's got the [A]cutest little cartridge
That [D]you've ever seen
She's a p[Eb]honographic [D]dream
I didn't waste no time about it
I put on my coat and shoes
I packed up my old rocking chair
And I left them hell on Church Street blues
And I went down to the record shop
What else could I do
She was five foot one and three quarters
Lord she claimed she was five foot two
And she looked at me with her big green eyes
And she said can I help you find something
I said what you got on special
She's got the cutest little cartridge
That you've ever seen
She's a phonographic dream
Acting very safisticated
I began to browse around
I walked up to the Record Lady
And I said I sure do like what I have found
It would be so beautiful
Please come away with me
We could run down to Istanbul
Or maybe even Gay Paris
And she looked at me with her big green eyes
She said can I help you find something
I said what you got on special
She's got the cutest little cartridge
That you've ever seen
She's a phonographic dream
A phonographic dream
One day you know I will see
My phonographic fantasy
In sweet fulfillment to the last detail
Down in Acapulco
Or even somewhere else
Just her and me together
The whole day long
Her and me together
Playing them records all night long
She's the Record Lady
Record Lady at the record shop
Set it spinning mama
Don't never stop my
