Lay lady lay,
Lay across my big brass bed,
Lay lady lay,
Lay across my big brass bed.
Whatever colours you have in your mind
I show them to you and you see them shine
Lay lady lay,
Lay across my big brass bed,
Stay lady stay,
Stay with your man a while.
Until the break of day,
Let me see you make him smile
His clothes are dirty but his, his hands are clean
And you are the best thing that he's ever seen
Stay lady stay,
Stay with your man a while.
Why wait any longer for the world to begin
You can have your cake and eat it, too
Why wait any longer for the one you love
When he's standing in front of you,
Lay lady lay,
Lay across my big brass bed,
Stay lady stay,
Stay with your man a while.
I long to see you in the morning light
I long to reach for you in the night
Stay lady stay,
Stay while the night is still ahead
So maybe I stay,
Stay while the night is still ahead
Stay lady stay,
Stay while the night is still ahead
So maybe I stay,
Stay while the night is still ahead
