Lyrics

Duck and sally inside
They're cooking for the down five
Who's starin' at miss rayon
Who's busy lickin' 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
Oh, just like sister ray said
Whip it on

Rosie and miss rayon
They're busy waitin' for her booster
Who just got back from carolina
She said she didn't like the weather
They're busy waitin' for her sailor
Who says he's just as big as ever
He says he's from alabama
He wants to know a way to earn a dollar
I'm searchin' for my mainer
I said I couldn't hit it sideways
I couldn't hit it sideways
Oh, just like sister ray said
Play it on

Cecil's got his new piece
He cocks and shoots between three and 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
Too busy sucking on a ding-dong
She's busy sucking on my ding-dong
Aw, she does just like sister ray said

I'm searching for my mainline
I said I -c-c-couldn't hit it sideways
I c-c-c-c-c-couldn't hit it sideways
Oh, do it, do it aw just just just like sister ray said

Now, who is that knocking
Who's knocking on my chamber door
Could it be the police
They come and take me for a ride, ride
Oh but I haven't got the time, time
Hey, hey, hey, she's busy sucking on my ding-dong
She's busy sucking on my ding-dong
Aw now do it just like sister ray says
I'm searching for my mainline
I couldn't hit it sideways
I couldn't hit it sideways
Now just like, oh just like aw, just like sister ray said

Whip it on me jim!
