Sunny called I was in the hall And made a note I have to paint the kitchen walls An angel smiled across the room All in all, it was a lazy afternoon Then I thought about you I think it was Some sweet song that I heard Got to get goin' goin' ahead It will take a long, long time Got to go ahead and deal with my life It has taken such a long time this time Sunny called, I was in the bath And heard the rain hit the roof And tiles real hard (hit the roof real hard/hit the roof) Then I ran through my magazines A few letters poorly hidden in a jar (hidden in a jar/oh what a jar!) And I thought about you It must have been some old pictures I found Got to get goin' goin' ahead It will take a long, long time, yea yea Got to go ahead and deal with my life It has taken such a long time this time Inganakee Leo Yo Inganakee Leo
