Satin Sheets
By Willis Alan Ramsey (Cover by Shawn Colvin)
I wish I was a millionaire
Play rock music and grow long hair
Tell ya boys
I'd buy a new Rolls-Royce
Pretty women callin' me
Give ‘em all the third degree
Give ‘em satin sheets
And keep ‘em off the streets
Hallelujah! What's it to ya
Praise the Lord, and pass the mescaline
Praise Jehovah
He'll come over
As soon as you see me boogie-woogie across the silver screen
Hang ‘em high, hang ‘em low
Put ‘em in the ceilings wherever I go
And they'd swing all the night
From the rafter light
Hallelujah! We'll sock it to ya,
You got your coffee and me I got my Spanish tea
Praise Jehovah,
Maybe he'll come over
As soon as you see me playing my calliope
I wish I was a millionaire
Play rock music and grow long hair
Tell ya boys
I'd buy a new Rolls-Royce
— TJ Sullivan in LA
