Sister Ray Songtext
von Lou Reed

Duck and Sally inside
They′re cooking for the down five
Who're staring at Miss Rayon
She′s busy licking up her pig pen
Me, I'm searching for my mainline
I said I couldn't hit it sideways
I said I couldn′t hit it sideways
Now ain′t that just like Sister Ray said?
Lay it on

Now Rosey and Miss Rayon
They're busy waiting for her booster
Who just got here from Carolina
She′s found to be the sailor
Who's all dressed in pink and leather
And just got here from Alabama
He says he doesn′t like the weather
Wants to know how to earn a dollar


I said, "Hey, baby, I haven't got the time, time"
She′s busy sucking on my ding-dong
He's busy sucking on my ding-dong
Now ain't that just like Sister Ray said?
Alright

Cecil′s got his new piece
He cocks and shoots it between three and four
He aims it at the sailor
He shoots him down dead on the floor

Oh, you shouldn′t do that
Don't you know you′ll mess the carpet?
Don't you know you′ll mess the carpet?
And by the way, have you got a dollar?
Hey, baby, I haven't got the time, time
He′s busy sucking on my ding-dong
She's busy sucking on my ding-dong

Now ain't that just like Sister Ray said?
I′m searching for my mainline
I said, I couldn′t hit it sideways
I said, I couldn't hit it sideways
Now ain′t that just like Sister Ray said?
Get it on


Who is that knocking?
Who's knocking at my chamber door?
Now could it be the police?
They come and take me for a ride, ride
Oh, but I haven′t got the time, time
She's busy sucking on my ding-dong
He′s busy sucking on my ding-dong

Now ain't that just like Sister Ray said?
I'm searching for my mainline
I said, I couldn′t hit it sideways
I said, I couldn′t hit it sideways
Now ain't that just like?
Now ain′t that just like?
Now ain't that just like?
Just like Sister Ray said?
Yeah, alright

We′ll see you
Goodnight
Good to be back in New York
Take it easy
