| Artist: Cat Stevens | Title: Come On Baby (Shift That Log) |
| Year: 1967 | Album: New Masters |
It's lonely at the wooden lodge Why don't you come and see our baby? You haven't seen her for so long Come on baby, shift that log Come on baby, wash that dog Give me all the love you've got, to me Come on baby, shift that log Come on baby, wash that dog Give me all the love you've got, to me There in the back woods we had our little piece of land but everything wasn't so groovy Not when you had to dirty your hands Come on baby, shift that log Come on baby, wash that dog Give me all the love you've got, to me Come on baby, shift that log Come on baby, wash that dog Give me all the love you've got, to me It's lonely at the wooden lodge Come On Baby (Shift That Log) So why don't you share my bed Come on baby, shift that log Come on baby, wash that dog Give me all the love you've got, to me Come on baby, shift that log Come on baby, wash that dog Give me all the love you've got, to me | |

Well done, Cat Stevens. What a brilliant lyric. If we understand it correctly you're lonely... and looking after the baby... but you'd appreciate it if your 'other' baby dropped by to wash your dog... but, naturally, only after she's emptied her bowels. We notice that she's already had to 'dirty her hands'... so a problem with lavatory paper? Groovy. |
