All the night it's bli bli bli[00:00:08]
'N blop blop blop 'n drip drip drip[00:00:09]
I'm turnin' the faucet off[00:00:10]
Pretty uptight from bli bli bli[00:00:13]
'N blop blop blop I hate this trip[00:00:14]
I'm turnin' the faucet off[00:00:16]
That faucet's drippin'[00:00:19]
Turnin' the faucet off[00:00:21]
Tryin' t'sleep I need my rest[00:00:24]
But there's no rest f'me I guess[00:00:25]
I'm turnin' the faucet off[00:00:27]
Repeat Top[00:00:30]
My mind is flippin'[00:00:35]
Turnin' the faucet off[00:00:38]
I'm tryin' my best to sleep[00:00:40]
I'm tryin' without success[00:00:42]
I tell y' it just ain't fair a faucet[00:00:43]
Measures in this mess[00:00:44]
That's it I guess[00:00:46]
Every night I gotta git up in the middle of the gol'durn night[00:00:47]
An' it's colder'n a Swedish well digger's behin'[00:00:51]
But I gotta do it[00:00:52]
Otherwise I'm outta' m'min[00:00:53]
Stone crazy[00:00:55]
Stop the faucet from drippin'[00:00:56]
'N drivin y'nuts stone nuts[00:00:56]
It's drivin' you crazy[00:00:58]
One more drip an' you'll scream[00:01:01]
No stuff you can look him[00:01:06]
An' tell he has enough[00:01:07]
Whoa oh lemme tell y'really[00:01:08]
It's rough[00:01:10]
Talkin' 'bout them blee blop blues[00:01:11]
I'm hip to that drip goofin' my sleep[00:01:16]
I'm so tired o'gittin' up in the night[00:01:17]
What a catastratrose[00:01:18]
Pride's got me feelin' I'm boun't'[00:01:19]
Behave like an oaf[00:01:22]
I'll git me a hammer Bam[00:01:24]
Quite the difference in the way[00:01:26]
The faucet soun's now[00:01:27]
I'm gonna go bam bam bam bam[00:01:27]
Bam bam bam on that faucet[00:01:28]
D**n that faucet for the stupid ol'[00:01:29]
Drip that it is I tell y'[00:01:30]
I really am sick o'that drip[00:01:30]
Maybe the plumber man's[00:01:31]
Got him a better prettier tip[00:01:31]
About stoppin' that drip[00:01:32]
But as f'now[00:01:33]
When you be deep within y'nightly nap[00:01:33]
An' nothin worser than a drippin' tap[00:01:34]
You try t'lay there an' preten' you deaf[00:01:34]
But soon y' fin'ly know there ain' nothin' left[00:01:35]
That you jus' cannot stand it anymore[00:01:36]
You're hip[00:01:37]
Drip drip drip drip[00:01:38]
An' so y'git up an' you're half asleep[00:01:39]
You're so disgusted that'cha wanna weep[00:01:39]
You bump your knee while tryin' t'find the lamp[00:01:40]
Your throat is dried up and y'feelin' a cramp[00:01:41]
You can't feel dum'r an' you'd like t'kill the plum'er[00:01:42]
You envy children in summer camp[00:01:44]
But as for now[00:01:45]
But as for now[00:01:46]
The drippin' soun'[00:01:48]

Up his act[00:02:05]
Next time you're li'ble to crack[00:02:05]
Folks with leaky faucets[00:02:08]
Think o'wakin' up millions o'times[00:02:10]
T'stop the faucet drippin'[00:02:11]
Part o'the trouble o'livin' with plumbin'[00:02:13]
Is the dues a fella always pays[00:02:14]
Adoptin' fancy citified ways[00:02:16]
That's what'cha git f'livin in the city[00:02:18]
Whenever a nature lover hears your tale[00:02:20]
You ain' gonna git lots o'pity[00:02:22]

Dig this turn the faucet off'n you'll stop blues[00:02:30]
Then dig this you won't have t'sing th'[00:02:35]
Blee bop blues[00:02:36]
