Lay Back And Be Cool - Gene Anthony Ray - Song Of The Week


The Lyric "It's Been A Long Time, Still Think of Her At Night" comes from "Lay Back And Be Cool" from the season 2 episode "Feelings". Performed by Gene Anthony Ray and written by Enid Levine.


I hover and I haunt

I stalk through the city on little rat feet

Scurrying through the lives of the night people

But once there was a lady who showed me how to

Lay Back And Be Cool

 

She had love tattooed on her back

Had a mean 'ole two tone Pontiac

She could put you off with her attitude

She said I just wanna Lay Back And Be Cool

She's on a punk shock, hot rod, Hollywood crusin' trip

She found me cryin' in a parking lot on a Sunset Strip

She said Come on baby, I'll be good to you

She said I just wanna Lay Back And Be Cool

 

It's Been A Long Time

Still Think of Her At Night.

We Were Drifters

Just Looking For The Light.

She Took Me Up Somewhere In The Hills,

Turned Me Round, Cured Me Of My Ills

I stayed a year with her ,well maybe more like two

She said I just wanna Lay Back And Be Cool

 

I need bread (I don't got none at all)

I've been thinkin' about goin' down south this fall

I wanna make easy money and get by when I'm blue

I just wanna Lay Back And Be Cool

I wanna make easy money and get by when I'm blue

I just wanna Lay Back And Be Cool

And be cool

And be cool

And be cool
