Sister Ray / Foggy Notion - The Velvet Underground

Thanks to Lenny Laakso

They’re cookin' for the down five

Who’re starin' at Miss Rayon

Who’s busy licking up her pig-pen

I’m searching for my mainline

I said I couldn’t hit it sideways

I said I couldn’t hit it sideways

just like Sister Ray said

Rosey and Miss Rayon

They’re busy waiting for her booster

who just got back from Carolina

said she didn’t like the weather

They’re busy waiting for her Sailor

who’s dressed in pink and leather

(alt: who said he’s just as big as ever)

He’s just here from Alabama

he wants to know a way to earn a dollar

I’m searching for my mainer

I said I couldn’t hit it sideways

I said I couldn’t hit it sideways

just like Sister Ray said

Cecil’s got his new piece

He cocks and shoots it bang between three & four

He aims it at the Sailor

Shoots him down dead on the floor

Aw, you shouldn’t do that

Don’t you know you’ll stain the carpet

Now don’t you know you’ll stain the carpet

And by the way have you got a dollar

Oh, no man, I haven’t got the time-time

She’s busy sucking on a ding-dong

He’s busy sucking on my ding-dong

just like Sister Ray said

I’m searching for my mainline

I said I c-c-c-couldn't hit it sideways

I said I c-c-c-couldn't hit it sideways

just like Sister Ray says

Who’s that knocking

Who’s that knocking on my chamber door

Could it be the police?

They come and take me for a ride-ride

But I haven’t got the time-time

She’s been sucking on my ding-dong

She’s busy sucking on my ding-dong

Just like Sister Ray said

I’m searching for my mainline

I couldn’t hit it sideways

I couldn’t hit it sideways

just like … Sister Ray says
