Wanda had a baby in nineteen fifty one. The father was a stranger and a stranger was the son. Call that child james lewis call these rooms a home. Changing all them diapers polish all that chrome. Cmon baby spend the night with me All around the schoolyard playing all the games Running laughing back and forth the kid with two first names Stranger in the closet lock the diary The past is running faster singing harmony Cmon baby spend the night with me God bless this kitchen said the knick-knack shelf The dinners almost ready go and wash yourself Jimmys growing up now and wandas growing old The time is growin shorter the nights are long and cold Cmon baby spend the night with me Sneaking in the closet and through the diary Now dont you know all he saw was all there was to see The whole town saw jimmy on the six oclock news His brains were on the sidewalk and blood was on his shoes Cmon baby spend the night with me Cmon baby spend the night with me
