Turn it up, Turn me on




(Written for a male voice, strings, harmonica and Cajun
 squeezebox)

(Music influenced by zydeco style, Jim Croce's "Leroy Brown",
and Paul Simon's "That was your mother")

There would be a whole lot less going wrong
If you learned to play my favorite song
Girl I would love you my whole life long
If you learned to play my favorite song
So drop it in, crank it up, turn me on

Girl we could both just lay here
Or I could slip my disc into your player
And maybe you could sing along
Nothing would turn me on, like listening to my favorite song
So drop it in, crank it up, turn me on

(Harmonica solo)

We'd play a whole lot fewer games
If you played just a few more songs
Less pointing fingers and laying blame
If you played just a few more songs
So drop it in, crank it up, turn me on

We'd have a whole lot fewer fights
If you played just a few more songs
A lot less tossing and sleepless nights
If you played just a few more songs
So drop it in, crank it up, turn me on

You can watch the war playing on the news
Or you could play some of em Memphis blues
Baby it's yours to choose, you know just what to do
So drop it in, crank it up, turn me on

If you quit playing on your phone
You could play some zydeco, maybe some rock n' roll
Play it fast or play it slow, but darling I think you know
If you really want to turn me on
Play me my favorite song

So drop it in, crank it up, turn me on
(If you really want things to be fine,
You would even push rewind)

So drop it in, crank it up, turn me on
