There are you and here am I

We would be silly to sit an sigh

Okie-dokey, darlin' you and I

Are gonna get high together

Ev’rytime I look at you

I picture things that we could do

Drink up dear and don’t be blue

We gonna get high together

When the band begin to play it

And the gang begin to sway it

Then we will begin the latest

Just messin' around

Darlin' truckin' on down

Then after drinkin' some-a this and that

I may decide to take ya to my flat

Turn out the light an make it tight like that

We’re gonna get high together

(instrumental)

'Yas, yas' I hear ya, Mr. Sax Man

'Everybody, rock' 1:14

'Ah-ha, oh yeah, oh yeah'

'I hear ya talkin' to me'

(piano)

'I'm lookin' at that piano man'

'Ah-ha, yeah'

'Oh yeah'

(trumpet)

Ah-ha

That’s it

There are you and here am I

We would be silly

Just to sit an sigh

Okie-dokey, darlin' you and I

Are gonna get high together

Evrytime I look at you

I picture things that we could do

Drink up dear and don’t be blue

We gonna get high together

When the band begins to play it

And the gang begins to sway

Then we will begin the latest

Just messin' around, darling

Truckin' on down

Then after drinkin' some a-this and that

I may decide to take ya to my flat

Turn out the light and make it tight like that

We gonna get high together, yas.
