I Gotta Run

Canettes Blues Band, Lyrics by S. Goldfarb

[16-bar fast blues]

I met that girl on the back of the train
We danced all night and we drank champagne
It felt so good, I wanted to stay all night
She said, now honey that just ain't right

chorus
I gotta run [horn response: bop bop bop]
I gotta run
Well, it was fun while it was fun
But now, babe, I gotta run

Well, she wore black stockings and a mini skirt
I swear that woman was born to flirt
I reached on up to the top of her thigh
Then she looked down and said "my oh my"

chorus
I gotta run
I gotta run
Well, it was fun while it was fun
But now, babe, I gotta run

[instrumental]

She and I really started to sing
That's when I saw she wore a diamond ring
I grabbed my pants, there was knock at the door
I said, now honey, I can't take no more

chorus
I gotta run
I gotta run
Well, it was fun while it was fun
But now, babe, I gotta run

[instrumentals - one by one]

chorus
It was fun
It was fun
I gotta run
But it was fun
Yes, it was fun while it was fun
But now, babe, I gotta run
