Lyrics
Well, the guy next door, he plays his bass
All hours of the night
Lord, you think he?d give it a rest.
And he?s got some broad there, singin?
And I guess it sounds alright -
But it?s a test
Lordy, it?s a test.
Sometimes she sounds happy
And sometimes she sounds blue
And when it?s late
I will rap against their wall?
So I rap
And I knock
But the music never stops
Oh, yeah ? they can play it all.
Oh, yeah?
Oh, yeah?
They can play it all.
Oh, yeah?
Oh, yeah?
They can play it all.
And I wonder: Don?t they work?
Got the ?day-job? goin? on?
?Cuz they don?t appear to require
Any sleep
So I rap
And I knock
But the music never stops
Sometimes it?s so pretty
I could nearly
Weep.
Oh, yeah?
Oh, yeah?
I could nearly weep.
Oh, yeah?
Oh, yeah?
I could nearly
Weep.
Well, the guy next door, he plays his bass
All hours of the night
Lord, you think he?d give it a rest.
And he?s got some broad there, singin?
And I guess it sounds alright -
But it?s a test
Lordy, it?s a test.
Sometimes she sounds happy
And sometimes she sounds blue
And when it?s late
I will rap against their wall?
So I rap
And I knock
But the music never stops
Oh, yeah ? they can play it all.
Oh, yeah?
Oh, yeah?
They can play it all.
Oh, yeah?
Oh, yeah?
They can play it all.
Well, the guys next door
He plays his bass
All hours of the
Night.
